Thermal tolerance and standard metabolic rate of juvenile gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) acclimated to four temperatures.Temperature variation affects the growth, maturation and distribution of fish species due to increasing constraints on physiological functions therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate effect of temperature on thermal tolerance and standard metabolic rate (SMR) of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata).  For this purpose, tolerable temperature ranges of juvenile gilthead seabream acclimated at 15, 20, 25, and 30 °C for 30 days were estimated using dynamic and static thermal methodologies.  The dynamic and static thermal tolerance zones of gilthead seabream were calculated as 737 °C2 and 500 °C2, respectively, with a resistance zone area of 155.5 °C2.
