Experimental methods in aquatic respirometry:the importance of mixing devices…

In light of an increasing trend in fish biology towards using static respirometry techniques without the inclusion of a mixing mechanism and without accurately accounting for the influence of microbial (background) respiration, this paper quantifies the effect of these approaches on the oxygen consumption rates ( ˙MO2) measured from juvenile barramundi Lates calcarifer (mean±s.e. mass=20⋅31…
