  1. The relationship between temperature and standard rate of metabolism in African lungfish, <em>Protopterus aethiopicus</em>, from Uganda

    The relationship between temperature and standard rate of metabolism in African lungfish, Protopterus aethiopicus, from Uganda

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: AshleyW Seifert LaurenJ Chapman
    The relationship between temperature and metabolism among ancient (non-teleost) fishes, while largely unknown, is essential to an understanding of the effects of temperature on fish energetics. This study quantifies the effect of temperature on the standard rate of metabolism in...

  2. Diurnal and water salinity-dependent metabolic activity of juvenile white steenbras <em>Lithognathus lithognathus</em>

    Diurnal and water salinity-dependent metabolic activity of juvenile white steenbras Lithognathus lithognathus

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: K Kandjou --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa H Kaiser --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa
    The euryhaline white steenbras Lithognathus lithognathus is an important estuarine-dependent fish species in the South African marine and estuarine environment. Its tolerance to water quality fluctuations, in particular its metabolic rate responses to salinity changes, has not been studied. In...

  3. Metabolic activity throughout early development of dusky kob <em>Argyrosomus japonicus</em> (Sciaenidae)

    Metabolic activity throughout early development of dusky kob Argyrosomus japonicus (Sciaenidae)

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: C Edworthy --- South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), South Africa NC James --- South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), South Africa B Erasmus --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa JOG Kemp --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa H Kaiser --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa WM Potts --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa
    The physiology of fishes in the early stages of development remains poorly assessed despite the importance of identifying energy bottlenecks in organisms faced with changing environmental conditions. This study describes the metabolic activity of dusky kob Argyrosomus japonicus throughout its...
