. The ultimate upper lethal temperature (UULT) was 43.0 or 46.0°C for common carp and 43.5 or 46.5°C for silver carp, depending on the method of calculation. The influence of fish age on lethal temperature values was low. Using the relationship between the UULT and the optimum growth temperature the latter was calculated as being 38°C for common carp and 39°C for silver carp. No significant differences were found in survival of fish reared at lower and higher temperatures when proper food was used.
