Relationship between the standard length of ayu Plecoglossus altivelis migrating up rivers and the water temperature of the rivers was investigated from 1994 to 2003 in the lower reaches of the Shou and Jinzu rivers flowing into Toyama Bay and the sea near the mouth of the Jinzu River . The minimum length of ayu collected in both rivers gradually decreased as the water temperature of the river increased, and the relation between the minimum standard length (y) of ayu and water temperature (x) fitted a linear regression curve as expressed by y = 8 .48 0.174x (P<0.001). The maximum length of ayu collected in the sea was found to be smaller as the water temperature of the sea increased, and the relation between the maximum length (y) of ayu and water temperature (x) fitted a linear regression curve as expressed by y =11.2 0.291x (P = 0.004). The migration of ayu into the rivers started when the water temperature reached 10•Ž, and ayu were not collected in the sea when the water temperature exceeded 17•Ž. The reason why the mean body size of the ayu migrating up rivers earliest is largest is considered to be that larger individuals can better tolerate cold water. The period of ayu's migration into the Shou River was estimated for 27 days to 69 days during late March to middle June. In the case of stocking of ayu juveniles derived from sea-run type into a river, it is considered that bigger individuals (standard length •† 9 cm) should be released in the first period when the water temperature is at 10•Ž, and smaller individuals (standard length •† 6 cm) could be released in the peak period when the water temperature approaches 14•Ž .
