Temperature preferences of four fish species were studied in an electronic thermoregulatory shuttlebox. The modal temperature preferences (final preferenda) of the four species were: black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus), 24/sup 0/C; carp (Cyprinus carpio), 29/sup 0/C; chain pickerel (Esox niger), 24/sup 0/C; and pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus), 26/sup 0/C. The species different in thermoregulatory precision as well as in final preferred temperature, indicating the species-specific nature of thermal behavior. There was little intraspecific variation among individuals tested. The results agree well with those of other investigators using different methods and apparatus.
