Abstract: To investigate the effects of velocity increment and duration on the critical swimming speed (Ucrit) of juvenile darkbarbel catfish (Pelte obag vachelli), the Ucrit was determined with different velocity increment and duration at water temperature 25 ℃. The fish were first tested at the duration of 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 min at a velocity increment of 15% Ucrit (10 body length), and then, tested at a velocity increment of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30% Ucrit with a duration of 20 min. The absolute swimming speed (Ua) of experimental fish decreased from (47.4±0.7) cm·s-1 at 5 min to (39.1±1.5) cm·s-1 at 60 min (P<005), but the Ua in 15 min group was not significantly different from that in 30 min group. The Ua increased from (44.1±0.6) cm·s-1 in 5% Ucrit increment group to (47.0±0.4) cm·s-1 in 10% Ucrit increment group (P<005). There were no significant differences in Ua among the groups of 10%, 15%, and 20% Ucrit, but the Ua in 30% Ucrit increment group was significantly lower than that in other groups (P<0.05). It was suggested that the values of critical swimming speed were profoundly affected by the velocity increment and duration, and the proper duration and velocity increment for darkbarbel catfish were 15-30 min and 10%-20% Ucrit, respectively.
