Abstract :
The present study elucidates thermal limits of
a commercially important ornamental fish Koi carp
(Cyprinus carpio), in a domesticated subsystem. The
study aimed to understand the sub-lethal temperatures
which Koi carp can tolerate. The lower (CTMIN) and
upper (CTMAX) critical thermal limit was recorded at
15°C and 35°C respectively. Qualitative assessments
majorly revealed aberrant swimming patterns at the
higher slab. Contrarily, lower thermal slab was marked
by laziness and mucous secretion. Thermal stress affects
almost all biological indices and therefore, fish must be
maintained in an appropriate temperature. The
importance of the present study becomes even more
relevant in the context of domestic conditions since the
fish is largely used for ornamental purposes.
