The Respiratory Metabolism and Swimming Performance of Young Sockeye Salmon
TLDR
Rate of replacement of oxygen debt following fatigue was determined by tracing the return to a resting state of metabolism, and confirmed by re-tests at fatigue velocities, and in most instances the rate declined logarithmically with time.Abstract:
The rate of oxygen consumption in young sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) was determined for various swimming speeds, including fatigue levels, at temperatures of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 24 °C. A loga...read more

Energetic Responses of Salmon to Temperature. A Study of Some Thermal Relations in the Physiology and Freshwater Ecology of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerkd)
TL;DR: It is concluded that a mechanism of behavioral thermoregulation has evolved which favorably balances daily metabolic expenditures in order to conserve energy when food is limited.

Aerobic scope measurements of fishes in an era of climate change: respirometry, relevance and recommendations
TL;DR: It is the intention of this paper to encourage transparency and accuracy in future studies that measure the aerobic metabolism of fishes, and to highlight the fundamental issues with assuming broad relevance of the OCLTT hypothesis.

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.
