Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Temperature derived increase in metabolic rate was measured in two species of Mullet, Moolgardia engeli and Ellochelon vaigiensis, at four temperatures ranging from 28˚C to 40˚C, to establish a reliable method for conducting indirect calorimetry on board a moving vessel. Utilizing stop-flow respirometry, metabolic rate was measured as the decrease in oxygen concentration during several five minute runs at four discrete temperatures, 28˚,30˚,35˚ and 40˚C. MO2 was calculated using Excel and analyzed for variance using JMP8 statistical programs. Though the number of replicants was low (n=4), a statistically significant positive linear relationship was shown to exist between temperature and oxygen consumption.
