Abstract
Rates of acclimation and the response to fluctuating low temperatures of juvenile striped mullet Mugil cephalus (L.) have been described in terms of changes in heat resistance over a period of time. Fish changed from 25.5 to 27 or 29° C were acclimated within seven days. Acclimation to 23 or 15° C required a maximum of 11 days. Thermal responses to fluctuating low temperatures were lower than responses to constant temperature levels. Cyclic variations in heat resistance were present in all experimental and control tests.
