The rates of daily average, minimum and maximum oxygen consumption, specific dynamic action (SDA), ingestion and digestibility in Panaeus indicus were measured before, during and after a gradual rise of water temperature from 25 to 31°C at ever 2°C interval. The relationship between energy again and the metabolic costs has also been investigated. Oxygen consumption of P. indicus showed a clear rhythmicity, with low levels during darkness and higher levels during the light period.

Abstract


The rates of daily average, minimum and maximum oxygen consumption, specific dynamic action (SDA), ingestion and digestibility in Panaeus indicus were measured before, during and after a gradual rise of water temperature from 25 to 31°C at ever 2°C interval. The relationship between energy again and the metabolic costs has also been investigated. Oxygen consumption of P. indicus showed a clear rhythmicity, with low levels during darkness and higher levels during the light period.
