Abstract

1. The time course of acclimation from 15 ° C to 5 ° C and from 15 ° C to 25 ° C was measured for two compensating enzymes (cytochrome oxidase and succinic dehydrogenase) from epaxial muscle of goldfish (Carassius auratus L.). The time course of acclimation from 15 ° C to 25 ° C was measured for one inversely compensating enzyme (catalase). 2. The transition from one acclimation state to another shows initial oscillations before reaching a new steady state at from 3–4 weeks. The time necessary to reach the new steady state is shorter for small than for larger fish. The oscillations in activity cannot be attributed to the feeding schedule of the animals.
