Fingerlings of the endangered trout species Salmo apache Miller were subjected to increasing temperatures to determine upper lethal temperature limits. Most fish refused to take food at temperatures above 20 C. Equilibrium loss occurred between 21.2 C and 22.3 C. Death occurred when temperatures exceeded 23 C.
