Sample text

The reverse is true. It seems probable therefore that Plehn's (1924) generalization that older fish have a lesser sensitivity to oxygen lack will not always hold. As pointed out above, the level of no excess activity can be taken as a conservative estimate of the asphyxiai level. Conversely, if the level 43 I. 1. AQUATIC RESPIRATION OF FISH of oxygen at which a given species is asphyxiated is determined, the rate to which the active oxygen consumption is reduced at the begin­ ning of asphyxia can be taken as an estimate of the basal metabolic rate.

11. The resting metabolism of the goldeye, Amphiodon alosoides, in relation to temperature and oxygen concentration. Unpublished data of J. S. Hart, courtesy the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. The horizontal line through the 15° C. points is the estimated standard metabolic rate. The inclined broken line it meets is the active metabolic rate (see Fig. 14). The time sequence reads from right to left. convenient application of the manometric method is in the determination of the respiration of fish eggs en masse.

Metabolism in Relation to Starvation Standard metabolism decreases markedly with starvation. Smith ( 1935a, b ) who followed the respiration of the unfed lungfish, Protopterus aethiopicus, over periods to beyond 600 days at 25° C. has done the most thorough work on this subject. During the first 7 days the resting metabolism dropped to 50% of its initial value. At 300 days it was of the order of 15-20% of the initial value. The decline is essentially logarithmic (see Fig. 16) throughout at least the first 200-300 days with never any constant level.
