Perch will tolerate a pH of 4.5. At a pH of 3.5 reproduction is reduced. Acid tolerance was not merely the result of an overall hardiness, but reflects specific adaptation to low pH. Lethal acidity was near pH 3.2. It was reported that both YOY and adults survived longer than 10 d at pH 3.05 in 19 C water.
