Maximum growth rate of juvenile smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui), grown at constant temperatures of 16, 23, 26, 29, 32, and 35 C, occurred at approximately 26 C. Fish held at 35 C demonstrated a negative growth rate. The average 96-hr low temperature TL50 values (median tolerance limit) varied from 1.6 to 10.1 C for smallmouth bass acclimated to 15 and 26 C, respectively. Intermediate values were obtained for fish acclimated to 18 and 22 C. An important aspect of the study was the occurrence of a secondary fungous infection on the fish after 96-hr exposure to cold temperatures. In some cases the infection was severe enough to cause complete mortality within 7 days.
