Abstract The rates of daily average, minimum and maximum oxygen consumption, specific dynamic action (SDA), ingestion and digestibility in gilthead sea bream, Sparus auratus L., were measured before, during and after a gradual rise of water temperature from 20 to 28 °C at a rate of 1 °C day-1. The relationship between energy gain and the metabolic costs has also been investigated. Oxygen consumption of juvenile sea bream had a clear daily rhythmicity, with low levels during darkness and higher levels during the light period. Both light and feeding processes raised the metabolism of sea bream, but fish fasted for 2 days also showed an increase in oxygen consumption during the light period. Acclimation to 28 °C was complete for the minimum oxygen consumption rate in 12 days, but daily average and maximum oxygen consumption rates on the 19th day after the change were still 33% higher than at 20 °C mainly due to increased SDA. The digestibility of food components did not change significantly throughout the experiment. These relationships are discussed with respect to the potential for growth when fish are reared at 28 °C, although the energy costs are high.
