“…We used calorespirometry because it is the 'gold standard' of MR measurements and the only way to accurately measure MR on hypoxemic animals in real time (see Kaiyala and Ramsay, 2011;Nelson, 2016). Despite the superiority of calorespirometry, only a few studies have measured the metabolic heat of fishes (Addink et al, 1991;Regan et al, 2013;Stangl and Wegener, 1996;van Ginneken et al, 1994van Ginneken et al, , 1997van Ginneken et al, , 2004van Waversveld et al, 1989), and only three of these (van Ginneken et al, 1994(van Ginneken et al, , 1997(van Ginneken et al, , 2004 have measured metabolic heat at Pw O2 other than normoxia and anoxia. While the data from these studies suggest that MRD is employed at hypoxic Pw O2 values, they exposed their organisms to progressive hypoxia over sometimes prolonged periods of time and they did not relate their measurements to P crit nor directly assess the contributions of anaerobic metabolism at various hypoxic Pw O2 values.…”
