Oxygen consumption of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides, in relation to swimming speed and temperature.
TLDR
The logarithm of oxygen consumption for a given swimming speed was determined for largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides, of various sizes in relation to sustained swimming speeds.Abstract:

6 – Physiological Energetics
J.R. Brett,T.D.D. Groves +1 more
TL;DR: An understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological basis on which the energetics is built, and the equivalents employed, constitutes the opening section of this chapter.

Endothermy and Activity in Vertebrates
Albert F. Bennett,John A. Ruben +1 more
TL;DR: Resting and maximal levels of oxygen consumption of endothermic vertebrates exceed those of ectotherms by an average of five- to tenfold and have a much broader range of activity that can be sustained by this augmented aerobic metabolism.

The influences of feeding on the metabolic rate of fishes: a short review
TL;DR: The phenomenon of the post-prandial increase in metabolic rate of fish is discussed in relation to work with other species of animals and the effects of the various factors are described.

2 Swimming Capacity
TL;DR: The measurements of the swimming capacity of fish are discussed, which represents the daily movements of fish, including foraging and station holding, which includes periods of steady and unsteady swimming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and Ecological Correlates of Preferred Temperature in Fish
TL;DR: It is no longer adequate to describe responses of fish to thermal gradients, rather falsifiable hypotheses concerning adaptive relations between thermoselection, and physiological, biochemical, life-history and genetic correlates must be developed and tested experimentally.

Respiration of fishes with special emphasis on standard oxygen consumption: ii. influence of weight and temperature on respiration of several species
TL;DR: The standard rates of oxygen consumption in the present investigation are less in most cases than the lowest applicable values that could be found in the literature.

The relation of temperature to oxygen consumption in the goldfish
F. E. J. Fry,J. S. Hart +1 more
TL;DR: The lowest point in the resting metabolism in the daily cycle and the maximum steady rate of oxygen uptake found when the fish were stimulated to activity in a rotating chamber were measured.

Oxygen consumption of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) in relation to activity and salinity.
TL;DR: The oxygen consumption of the rainbow trout ranging in size from 23 to 196 g was measured and the cost of osmoregulation in terms of oxygen consumption for a 100-g fish did not appear to be proportional to the increase in osmotic gradient in 30‰ salinity.

Active Respiration of Fish in Relation to Ambient Concentrations of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
TL;DR: The oxygen consumption at a steady rate of activity maintained by a mild electric stimulus was measured for Salvelinus fontinalis, Catostomus commersoni, Ameiurus nebulosus LeSueur, Cyprinus carpio and Carassius auratus in the presence of various combinations of oxygen and carbon dioxide to give estimates of the metabolism available for these species.

The Effect of Physical Conditioning on the Metabolism of Lactate, Phosphate, and Glucose in Rainbow Trout, Salmo gairdneri
TL;DR: Physically conditioned trout showed significantly higher Muscle and plasma lactate levels when fatigued, and more rapid removal of lactate from muscle and plasma during recovery from fatigue, than unconditioned trout.
