The relationship between oxygen consumption rate (milligrams per kilogram per hour) and sustained swimming speed (calculated from tailbeat frequency) was determined for 1.2-g juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) at 15 °C. The data are best described by the following equation: log oxygen consumption rate = 2.2 + 0.13 (body lengths-s−1). This relationship is very similar to that extrapolated for sockeye salmon (O. nerka) of the same size, thus potentially enabling researchers to utilize the extensive sockeye data base to predict metabolic rates of coho. The oxygen consumption rate during burst swimming (9 body lengths∙s−1) was also determined. The burst swimming metabolic rate (38 000 mgO2∙kg−1∙h−1) is nearly 40 times greater than the maximum sustained swimming metabolic rate.

Tolerance of underyearling coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) to Fraser River suspended sediments (SS) at 7 °C was independent of season of the year. However, coho of 0.52 g (4.0 cm) possessed only 35% of the tolerance of larger specimens. Tolerance to SS was temperature dependent, with 96-h LC50 at 1 and 18 °C being 47 and 33%, respectively, of the value at 7 °C. Tolerance was further reduced among underyearling coho which were later found to have a viral kidney infection. Cough reflex, oxygen transfer, oxygen saturation levels, metabolic rates, and capacity to do work all probably affect the relationship between SS tolerance and temperature.

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.

<p><strong><em>Abstract.</em></strong><em> The aims of the study were: (1) to test oxygen consumption of Anadara granosa under sub-lethal concentrations of endosulfan, (2) oxygen consumption under sub-lethal concentrations of glifosat and (3) oxygen consumption under mixture of endosulfan and glifosat. </em><em>Complete randomlizeddesign were applied on this experiment.</em><em> Initially, the oxygen consumption was standardised against animal’s dry flesh weight. Results showed that dry flesh weight afffected significantly the oxygen consumption.  The relationship between the two variables was formulated as  y = 0</em><em>.</em><em>217 + 0</em><em>.</em><em>243x.  Based on teh relationship, the oxygen consumption was reported as mg/l/hr of 1g standard animal.  Exposure of blood cockles to various sub-lethal concentrations of pesticides showed that the oxygen consumption rates reduced as the concentrations increased.  For endosulfan, the oxygen consumption rate decreased from </em><em>(</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>5325 ±</em><em> 0.1556)</em><em>mg/l/hr at 0</em><em>.</em><em>05 ppm to </em><em>(</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>2282 ±</em><em> 0.1552 ) </em><em>mg/l/hr at 0</em><em>.</em><em>5 ppm.  Increasing glifosat from 50 ppm to 200 ppm reduced the oxygen consumption from </em><em>(</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>3111±</em><em> 0.1811)</em><em>to </em><em>(</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>2449 ±</em><em> 0.2548)</em><em>mg/l/hr.</em><em> </em><em>Accordingly, the oxygen consumption decreased from </em><em>(</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>3376±</em><em> 0.972)</em><em>mg/l/hr to </em><em>(</em><em>0,2841±</em><em> 0.2057)</em><em>mg/l/hr</em><em> </em><em>when concentrations of mixture endosulfan + glifosat mixture increased from 0</em><em>.</em><em>005 + 50 ppm to 5 + 200 ppm.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> pesticide</em><em>; </em><em>endosulfan</em><em>;</em><em> glyphosate</em><em>;</em><em> Anadara granosa</em><em>;</em><em> bioassay</em><em>;</em><em> oxygen consumption</em></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Abstrak.</strong><strong> </strong>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi sublethal endosulfan, glifosat, dan secara bersama-sama terhadap konsumsi oksigen kerang darah (<em>Anadara granosa</em>). Metode eksperimental dengan rancangan percobaan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) diterapkan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa berat tubuh mempengaruhi laju konsumsi oksigen dengan hubungan <em>y = 0,217+0,243 x</em>, sehingga hasil pengukuran laju konsumsi oksigen dinyatakan sebagai mg/l/jam per 1 gram berat kering kerang standar. Pemaparan terhadap konsentrasi sublethal menunjukkan bahwa laju konsumsi oksigen menurun seiring dengan meningkatnya konsentrasi masing – masing pestisida maupun campurannya.  Untuk endosulfan, laju konsumsi oksigen menurun dari (0,5325± 0,1556) mg/l/jam pada 0,05 ppm menjadi (0,2282 ± 0,1552) mg/l/jam pada 5 ppm.  Untuk glifosat, laju konsumsi oksigen menurun dari (0,3111± 0,1811) mg/l/jam pada 50 ppm menjadi (0,2449 ± 0,2548) pada 200 ppm, sedangkan untuk campuran endosulfan + glifosat, laju konsumsi oksigen menurun dari (0,3376± 0,972)  mg/l/jam pada 0,005 + 50 ppm menjadi (0,2841± 0,2057) mg/l/jam pada 5 + 200 ppm.  Kisaran konsentrasi sublethal ini sangat mempengaruhi konsumsi oksigen kerang darah (<em>Anadara granosa</em>) yaitu laju konsumsi oksigen akan menurun jika konsentrasi endosulfan dan glifosat ditingkatkan. </p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><em>: pestisida; endosulfan; glifosat; Anadara granosa; bioassay; konsumsi oksigen</em>

ABSTRACTLife history, reproduction, and survival are fundamentally linked to energy expenditure and acquisition. Dynamic Body Acceleration (DBA), measured through animal-attached data-loggers or transmitters, has emerged as a powerful method for estimating field metabolic rates of free-ranging individuals. After using respirometry to calibrate oxygen consumption rate with DBA in captive settings, predictive models can be applied to DBA data collected from free-ranging individuals. However, laboratory calibrations are generally performed on a narrow size range of animals, which may introduce biases when predictive models are applied to differently sized individuals in the field. Here, we tested the influence of scale effects on the ability of a single predictive model to predict over a range of body sizes. We performed respirometry experiments with individuals spanning one order of magnitude in body mass (1.74–17.15 kg) and used a two-step modelling process to assess the intra-specific scale dependence of the -DBA relationship and incorporate such dependencies into the covariates of predictive models. The final predictive model showed scale dependence; the slope of the -DBA relationship was strongly allometric (M1.55), whereas the intercept term scaled closer to isometry (M1.08). Using bootstrapping and simulations, we tested the performance of this covariate-corrected model against commonly used methods of accounting for mass effects on the -DBA relationship and found lowest error and bias in the covariate-corrected approach. The strong scale dependence of the -DBA relationship indicates that caution must be exercised when models developed using one size class are applied to individuals of different sizes.Summary statementThe relationship between oxygen consumption rate and dynamic body acceleration is allometrically dependent, and models incorporate different slope and intercept scaling rates estimate metabolic rates more accurately than mass-specific approaches.

Microbial efficiency in a meromictic reservoirIndices of microbial efficiency (expressed as oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release) were determined in the water column of the meromictic Piaseczno Reservoir (in an opencast sulphur mine), which is rich in sulphur compounds. Phytoplankton abundances were low in both the mixolimnion (up to 15 m depth) and monimolimnion (below 15 m depth). In summer and winter, carbon dioxide release was 3-fold and 5-fold higher, respectively, in the monimolimnion than in the mixolimnion. Laboratory enrichments of the sulphur substrate of the water resulted in a decrease in oxygen consumption rate of by about 42% in mixolimnion samples, and in the carbon dioxide release rate by about 69% in monimolimnion samples. Water temperature, pH and bivalent ion contents were of major importance in shaping the microbial metabolic efficiency in the mixolimnion, whilst in the monimolimnion these relationships were not evident.
