The constraints on cephalopods: why squid aren't fish
Ronald K. O’Dor,Dale M. Webber +1 more
TL;DR: The basic inefficiency of the jet-propulsion system has required bioenergetic, physiological, and biochemical adaptations in squid which maximize their metabolic rates, which resulted in the short life history and semelparous reproductive patterns that seem to characterize these coleoid cephalopods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of water temperature and oxygenation on the aerobic metabolic scope of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
TL;DR: It is suggested that, when faced with heterogeneous or unstable hydrological conditions, cod tend to behaviourally maximise their metabolic scope, through this adaptive response, fish reduce energy budgeting conflicts and presumably increase the probability of routinely operating away from lethal boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing a new acoustic telemetry technique to quantify long-term, fine-scale movements of aquatic animals
TL;DR: The VPS provides a more efficient, less expensive approach to study and quantify fine-scale, long-term movements and habitat use of multiple individuals simultaneously, with the potential for improving the understanding on ecological and behavioral population level processes in aquatic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interpreting diel activity patterns from acoustic telemetry: the need for controls
TL;DR: This study compared patterns in acoustic detections from tagged cuttlefish Sepia apama and several fixed-location control tags, and used these data to highlight the danger of misinterpreting patterns in the absence of adequate controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiology and behaviour of free-swimming Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) facing fluctuating temperature conditions
TL;DR: Respirometry experiments revealed that the thermoregulatory behaviour observed in free-ranging fish was probably driven by the energetic expedient of maintaining the physiological status quo i.e. avoiding bioenergically costly reacclimation processes.
