| Abstract |
Seasonal variations in temperature preferences of adult yellow perch (Perca flavescens) were sought by acclimating fish captured in the fall to 5, 10, 15, and 20C in the laboratory and determining their preferred temperatures in a horizontal temperature gradient trough. Temperatures selected in winter for fish acclimated to 5C ranged from 12 to 14C, considerably above the temperature region (6C and below) previously established for optimum gametogenesis. Final preferenda as determined from preferred temperature-acclimation temperature curves were 24, 20, and 17C during winter, spring and summer respectively. It is concluded that there are no demonstrable effects, at least in winter and early spring which might reflect changing physiological needs and that temperature gradients in nature serve rather to attract perch to warm temperatures suitable for spawning in spring and conducive to growth in summer. |
