| Summary: | 0.93) with the lower-lethal-temperature series; the requisite 1992-93 version (r > 0.99). A second phase of the research 93 refuge design, which featured an inflated, dome-like Although red drum in the ponds at Palacios were not April. Acclimation temperatures were inferred by at 24 h yielded estimates of mean lower lethal temperature bioassays. Regression of probit-transformed percent survival could be tested and compared, both with each other and with cover, was the most effective in terms of cost, ease of dates. Values of estimated acclimation temperature for these experimental thermal refuge were installed and operated in exponential rate constants ranging from 0.01 1 to 0.026 min-' exponentially filtering the pondtemperature time series so filter had an exponential rate constant of 0.044 day-1. focused on cold tolerance of red drum in ponds at Palacios, for the 1991-92 version and 0.004 to 0.006 min-' for the from 6 February to 2 April 1993. Values of the 24-h lower however, there was a significant difference among sample kill led to the development of thermalrefuge technology for lethal temperature of fish sampled from refuge-equipped and maintenance, and resistance to heat loss. A mathematical model, based on Newton's law of cooling, was used to simulate non-refuge-equipped ponds were estimated via lethal-cold overwintering these fish. Successive versions of an Palacios, Texas, during the winters of 1991-92 and 1992-93. red drum ranged from 13.5 IC on 6 February to 17.7 IC on 2 refuge thermodynamics. The best-fitting model had refuge-equipped and non-refugeequipped ponds did not differ; that the filtered values had maximum linear correlation (r = The need to protect red drum in aquaculture ponds from cold- the prototype refuge used in the winter of 1990-91. The 1992- thermodynamic efficiency of the two versions of the refuge threatened by cold during either of these mild winters, the two adjacent red drum culture ponds at Redfish Unlimited, which rose from 0.7 IC on 6 February to 6.6 IC on 2 April. Within dates lower lethal temperatures of fish taken from |
