Metabolic costs of spontaneous swimming in Sprattus sprattus L., at different water temperatures.

Oxygen uptake (MO2; mgO2 fish-1h-1) of fish groups was measured at temperatures between 10-19°C in an intermittent-flow respirometer to quantify the metabolic costs of spontaneous swimming patterns in the small clupeid Sprattus sprattus. Movements of individual fish within the school were tracked au...
