The Energy Budget Of The Southern Catfish

THe resting metabolic rates of 106 young fish weighing 10.8-422.6 g were measureed with continous—flowing respirometers at 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30℃.The daily total metabolic rates of 94 fish weighing8.49-151.0 g were measured with closed respirometers at15, 20, 25, and 30℃ at 4 ration levels from starvationto 4%B.W./day. Cutlets of fresh Misgurnus anguillicaudatus(Cantor) were used as food.Feeding-growth experiment. was conducted on 114 -fish with initial weights of 8.71-127.9 g at 15, 20, 25, and 30℃. The experiment consisted o-f 8 weight-temperature groups, with 5 ration levels ranging from starvation to...
