Routine metabolism of juvenile spot, Leiostomus xanthurus (Lacépède), as a function of temperature, salinity and weight

Routine oxygen consumption rates of juvenile sport, Leiostomus xanthurus , were measured over a range of temperatures, salinities and fish weights. As predicted, QO sub(2) increased with temperature and decreased with body weight. However, QO sub(2) decreased with decreasing salinity and did not sho...

Zusammenfassung:Routine oxygen consumption rates of juvenile sport, Leiostomus xanthurus , were measured over a range of temperatures, salinities and fish weights. As predicted, QO sub(2) increased with temperature and decreased with body weight. However, QO sub(2) decreased with decreasing salinity and did not show the expected minimum at isosmotic concentrations.
