Abstract
The effects of temperature and body weight on endogenous nitrogen excretion (ENE) rate were examined for fish acclimated at 7.2, 15.6, 23.9, and 29.4–32.2 C. Nitrogen excretion rates were very high at the highest temperature and decreased with a decrease in acclimated temperature from 29.4–32.2 C to 15.6 C. Nitrogen excretion rates were equal at 15.6 and 7.2 C. From these data, an estimate of maintenance protein for a population of bluegidl sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) was calculated on a seasonal and yearly basis.
