Abstract
1. Red abalone, Haliotis rufescens, acclimatizated at 17 +/- 1 degrees C ha d a preferred temperature of 18.8 +/- 2.1 degrees C. 2. Red abalone critical thermal maxima at 50% was calculated as 27.5 degree s C 3. The optimum growth temperature was calculated as 18.4 degrees C for H. r ufescens. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
