Disolved oxygen plays an important role for fish living in its life environment. Information on the ammount of oxygen consumption of a fish in certain volume of water is needed in order to give balancing between the ammount of disolved oxygen and fish in it. The objective of this research is obtaining oxygen consumption level of a juvenile of humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis) of 5-7 cm body length. Oxygen consumption of fish was measured using a tube that equiped with DO tool (dissolved oxygent, DO), and the tube was filled by sea water. Measurement of oxygen con-sumption of juvenil was done by measuring the concentration of dissolved oxygen from sea water in the respirometer tube, began when fish had entered into the respirometer tube up to two hours observation. The result showed that oxygen consumption rate of a juvenile of humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis) of 5-7 cm length, is ranging between 0.816 and 1.734 mg/hour.

A closed respirometer was used for the measurement of respiratory rates [Formula: see text] of nymphs of Phasganophora capitata (Pictet). Nymphs were found to be conformers since they reduced their oxygen consumption rate when the level of dissolved oxygen in the water was reduced.No significant correlation (P > 0.05) was observed between oxygen consumption and body weight. The metabolic rate [Formula: see text] of nymphs increased less than the body weight or mass.
