Influence of Starvation on Selected Temperature of some Salmonids

Abstract
Starvation-induced changes were observed in the selected temperature of some under-yearling salmonids. In Atlantic salmon an upwards shift occurred within 24–28 hr after cessation of feeding. In brook trout and rainbow trout a downwards shift occurred within 24 hr after cessation of feeding. Brook trout showed an initial overshoot. These changes were maintained more or less constantly throughout the starvation period which lasted from 15 to 22 days. In all cases the selected temperature had returned to its pre-starvation value within 24 hr after resumption of feeding.
