nobilis) are highly susceptible to changes in environmental temperature, and rapid intervention is required in response to temperature disruptions during aquaculture. This study will therefore encourage aquaculturists to closely monitor culture temperatures for this economically important species of fish. Further study should be conducted on additional immunological parameters, resistance to disease and gene expression of immune responses together with study of several stress hormones will enable a better understanding of the mechanisms response of Bighead carp to
