The bluespotted sunfish, Enneacanthus gloriosus (Holbrook), had a final temperature preferendum of 31.5 C. Fish acclimated to 30 C avoided 36 C. The analysis of acute temperature preference data and the relationship between final temperature preferendum and upper avoidance temperatures are discussed.
