Abstract
Thermoregulation behavior of satiated and hungry juvenile sterlet Acipenser ruthenus, the Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baeri, and the goldfish Carassius auratus was studied. Significant alterations of thermoregulation behavior appear in juvenile fish one day after food deprivation. Hungry fish preferred, on average, lower temperatures, their temperature range was broader, and the locomotor activity was higher than in satiated fish.
