The gastric evacuation rate (GER) of the delicate loach Niwaella delicata was estimated experimentally under four temperature conditions (10, 15, 20, and 25 A degrees C). The GER was relatively high under the ae20 A degrees C condition and was nearly zero under the ae15 A degrees C condition. The relationship between GER and water temperature was estimated following the method of Elliot (1972) as follows: GER = exp (0.436 x temperature - 10.59). This physical characteristic might affect the seasonal activity of this species.
