Abstract
1. The oxygen consumption of brain tissue of 17 species of marine teleost fishes was determined at 30° C. 2. A positive correlation exists between rate of oxygen consumption and activity of fishes. The more active fishes, like the menhaden, had a higher Qo2 then the sluggish fishes, such as the toadfish. 3. In general, when comparing results of this paper with various physiological indices of activity, a positive relationship was noted. 4. Qo2 of brain tissue of the pinfish and the toadfish were independent of body weight and body length.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
