✦ Synopsis

Abstract

White suckers select a higher body temperature at night and a lower temperature during daytime. Removal of the pineal organ eliminated their diel rhythm of behavioral thermoregulation. After pinealectomy fish failed to select a lower daytime temperature. These results suggest that the pineal organ is involved in the control of behavioral thermoregulation of this teleost fish.

## Abstract Removal of the pineal organ from the lake chub, __Couesius plumbeus__, had significant effects on circadian locomotor activity. In fish kept in continuous darkness the absolute length of the circadian period was significantly altered; the variability of the period was increased; and ult
