1. Effect of changes in aerial O2 partial pressure (PO2,air) on the mean apnoeic O2 consumption rate (V̇O2,ap) of Trichogaster leeri.
Effect of changes in aerial O2 partial pressure (PO2,air) on the mean apnoeic O2 consumption rate (V̇O2,ap) of Trichogaster leeri. The relationship is described by the logarithmic curve: V̇O2,ap=– log(PO2,air) (r2=0.63, N=2 for 5 kPa and N=6 for 10 kPa as individual breaths were invisible on the others; and N=7 for remaining treatments). Treatments not denoted by the same letter are significantly different. All data are shown as means ± s.e.m.
