Metabolic rates scale isometrically in larval fishes

We estimated the rate of oxygen consumption of larval Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus at 3 temperatures (13, 16, 19 °C) while controlling rigorously for methodological biases. Routine metabolic rates (μl O₂ h⁻¹ ind.⁻¹) increase with body weight (W, in mg) and temperature (T, in °C) as: RMR = 2.16...
