Growth rates of individual juvenile bluegills fed 0.75, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0% dry body weight day−1 and ad libitum at constant temperatures were smaller above (34 C) than within (30 or 31 C) or below (25 and 28 C) this speciesˈ preferred temperature range. For each feeding regime growth rate did not differ significantly at temperatures below 34 C.
