SUMMARY The objective of this study was to examine if individual variation in morphological characters is related to swimming costs in wild and domestic brook charr, and in wild yellow perch. Our results indicate that absolute swimming cost was higher in wild and domestic brook charr individuals having a stout body shape, and these individuals are therefore less efficient swimmers. These results are consistent with field observations that described relationships between individual variation in morphology and habitat use in salmonids. Further analyses indicated that standard metabolic rates were higher in individuals having a stout body shape, and that net swimming cost was not related to body shape. Accordingly, the higher swimming cost of stout individuals is probably an indirect consequence of an increase in standard metabolic rate. In wild yellow perch, absolute and net swimming costs were higher in individuals having a stout body shape and a low aspect caudal fin,and standard metabolic rate was not related to body shape. Therefore, in contrast to brook charr, individual variation in the swimming cost of yellow perch appears to be related to morphological characters that affect drag and thrust forces, which is consistent with previously published inter-specific observations.

Parasitic Phase

Between May 1986 and March 1989, the density, breeding cycle, and glochidia production of the unionid clam Anodonta grandis simpsoniana, and the population size and intensity of glochidia infestation of yellow perch, Perca flavescens, were evaluated in Narrow Lake, Alberta. The total number of glochidia produced was compared with the number of glochidia infesting yellow perch, and clam recruitment to age 2 and adulthood was estimated. Clams carried eggs and glochidia between July and, dependent on the prevailing water temperature, May or June of the following year. A total of 2.9 × 106 clams 2 years and older, of which approximately 50% were mature, produced 38.1 × 1012 glochidia in 1987. Of these, 2.6 × 106 (0.007%) glochidia attached to perch, predominantly (>92%) to 1- and 2-year-old fish. Once attached to perch, glochidia had a relatively high survival: 27% to 2 years of age and 9–18% to maturity. These results suggest that the parasitic phase in the life cycle of unionids is most critical.

Atlantic Salmon Parr

Fish that inhabit rivers may experience important daily fluctuations in water temperature. Bioenergetic models have the potential to simulate the effects of such fluctuations on fish growth; however, bioenergetic components are traditionally modeled using fish kept at constant water temperatures. This study tested the hypothesis that circadian fluctuations in water temperature increase the standard metabolic rate of fish. The standard metabolic rate of Atlantic salmon parr (Salmo salar; 5.96–36.20 g wet blotted mass) estimated at 20 ± 0.5 °C was 25% to 32% lower for fish held at a relatively constant water temperature (20.2 ± 0.5 °C) than for fish maintained under fluctuating thermal regimes (19.8 ± 2.0 °C; 19.5 ± 3.0 °C). This study suggests that a rise in standard metabolic rate may explain how temperature fluctuations affect fish growth. It also indicates that the traditional approach used to estimate and model components of the bioenergetic equation may substantially underestimate the standard metabolic rate of fish that are subjected to such fluctuations.

Total yearly growth of female yellow perch, Perca flavescens (Mitchill), in South Bay, Lake Huron, estimated by the distance along the lateral radius from last annulus to scale edge, showed a marked relationship to mean water temperature at a depth of 20 ft. When published data on growth of perch in Lower Red Lake, Minnesota, were compared with mean air temperatures for the period June through September at Redlake, no such relationship could be demonstrated. The reasons for the different results obtained in these and in other studies could not be determined.

Caloric Requirements

A pollutant accumulation model is developed which successfully predicts concentrations of PCBs and methylmercury in tissues of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) from the Ottawa River, Canada. The model is based on pollutant biokinetics coupled to fish energetics. The expression for metabolic rate includes a growth dependent term for estimating the contribution to metabolism of seasonal and annual growth in each age-class. Uptake of pollutant from food is based on caloric requirements for respiration and growth coupled to concentration of pollutant in food and its assimilation efficiency from the diet. Uptake of pollutant from water is based on flow of water past the gills for respiration coupled with concentration of pollutant in water and the efficiency of its assimilation by gills. Pollutant clearance is related to body weight raised to the power of −.58, but is independent of metabolic rate. Under steady state conditions of chronic exposure, the predicted ratio of uptake to clearance is roughly constant at all weights, and the slope of a curve of log pollutant concentration in tissues vs. log body weight can be used to establish the exponent of body weight for clearance.

Two Factors

The standard metabolic rate for juvenile carpet pythons, Morelia spilota imbricata, with a mean body mass of 129.6 g (range 57.7–253 g) increased from 6.75 ± 0.96 (s.e.) mL h–1 to 42.6 ± 12.40 (s.e.) mL h–1 in 48 h after ingesting mice equal to approximately 23% of their body mass, at a temperature of 30°C. Sloughing increased metabolic rate to approximately 146% of standard metabolic rate at 30°C. Metabolic rate is elevated before the eyes become opaque and other visual signs indicate that a slough is imminent. The implications of these two factors when measuring standard metabolic rate are discussed.
