Abstract
Seasonal differences in the critical thermal maximum are revealed in Amur sleeper Perccottus glenii at the age of 1+ and 2 years. Maximum values of the critical thermal maximum determined by two criteria (rotation of the body and immobile gill covers) are registered in the summer, and minimum values of this parameter are observed in the winter. Maximum thermal resistance is registered at a low water heating rate (0.2–0.4°C/h), and minimum resistance is reported for a heating rate 5.0–10.5°C/h. The difference between the values of the critical thermal maximum assessed by two criteria reaches 1–2°C. Features of behavior of Amur sleeper are described at different heating rates. Based on the characteristics of thermal adaptation (critical thermal maximum and optimal temperature for growth), Amur sleeper is similar to warm water eurythermal species (goldfish Carassius auratus and carp Cyprinus carpio).
