Abstract The growth, gastric emptying time (GET), and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of the commercially important freshwater mahseer, Tor tambroides, were evaluated under five temperatures (22 °C, 24 °C, 26 °C, 28 °C, and 30 °C) in triplicates with 15 fish per replication in a controlled laboratory condition. After 12 weeks, the body weight gain (BWG), specific growth rate (SGR), and daily growth rate (DGR) were measured. The highest BWG (7.25 ± 1.14 g), SGR (0.71% ± 0.10% day−1), and DGR (4.70 ± 0.20 g day−1) were observed at 30 °C, whereas the lowest BWG (3.16 ± 0.90 g), SGR (0.30 ± 0.05% day−1), and DGR (1.77 ± 0.30 g day−1) were observed at 22 °C (P
