Popis: Water temperature is a significant environmental stressor that affects physiology and biochemical activities of bivalves. Here, temporal variations in physiological and biochemical parameters of Zhikong scallop, Chlamys farreri, under three water temperature treatments were investigated. For the first treatment, scallops were transferred from rearing temperature (15 degrees C, control temperature) to 5, 10, 20 and 25 degrees C, respectively. The second group of scallops was gradually acclimated to above experimental temperatures at a rate of 1-2 degrees C day(-1). The third group was transferred directly between 15 and 7 degrees C every 12h and for six times. Results showed that significantly higher oxygen consumption and ammonia-N excretion together with a significant lower ingestion rate was observed for the acute temperature change treatment compared to those in the equivalent gradual temperature variation treatment (P
