Comparison of routine oxygen consumption rates of three species of pleuronectids at three temperatures

The oxygen consumption rates of three species of pleuronectids, the yellowtail flounder, Pleuronectes ferrugineus (Storer), the winter flounder, Pleuronectes americanus (Walbaum), and the American plaice, Hippoglossoides platessoides (Fabricius), were examined under simulated, land-based, aquaculture conditions. Routine oxygen consumption (ROC) rates for groups of each species were measured simultaneously using single-pass, flow-through respirometry. This study was conducted over three seasons at temperatures from 2 degrees C to 14 degrees C. An analysis of variance identified a significant interaction between temperature and species on the oxygen consumption rates of these flounder. The analysis indicated that at each temperature, ROC rates were significantly different among the three species (P < 0.05). A subsequent test of each species' ROC rate across the three temperatures indicated that both the yellowtail flounder and the winter flounder had significantly different ROC rates at each temperature experiment (P < 0.05). The ROC of yellowtail and winter flounder responded similarly to changes in experimental temperatures.PT: J; CR: 1983, 855 FAO BEAMISH FWH, 1964, CAN J ZOOL, V42, P161 BEAMISH FWH, 1964, CAN J ZOOL, V42, P355 BEJDA AJ, 1992, ENVIRON BIOL FISH, V34, P321 BIGELOW HB, 1953, US FISH WILDL SERV F, V53 BLAXTER JHS, 1983, MAR BIOL, V73, P99 BOGHEN AD, 1995, COLD WATER AQUACULTU, P3 BOWERING WR, 1991, NETH J SEA RES, V27, P407 BRETT JR, 1964, J FISH RES BOARD CAN, V21, P1183 BROWN J, 1995, COLD WATER AQUACULTU, P341 BROWN JA, 1994, B AQUACULT ASS CAN, V94, P13 BROWN JA, 1994, B AQUACULT ASS CAN, V94, P9 BROWN JAG, 1984, AQUACULTURE, V36, P273 CECH JJ, 1990, METHODS FISH BIOL, P335 DALLAVIA GJ, 1983, POLAROGRAPHIC OXYGEN, P202 DAVENPORT J, 1990, AQUACULTURE, V90, P267 FIVELSTAD S, 1991, AQUACULT ENG, V10, P227 FONDS M, 1992, NETH J SEA RES, V29, P127 FRANK KT, 1992, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V49, P467 FRY FEJ, 1971, FISH PHYSIOL, V6, P1 GIBSON RN, 1975, P 9 EUR MAR BIOL S, P13 HAZEL JR, 1993, PHYSL FISHES, P427 HOLMEFJORD I, 1993, J WORLD AQUACULTURE, V24, P275 HONDA H, 1988, UPPER LIMIT REARING HOORNBEEK FK, 1982, AQUACULTURE, V28, P363 HUTCHINGS JA, 1995, N ATLANTIC FISHERIES, P37 IMSLAND AK, 1995, NETH J SEA RES, V34, P149 JOBLING M, 1980, J FISH BIOL, V17, P547 JOBLING M, 1982, J FISH BIOL, V20, P501 KIKUCHI K, 1990, NIPPON SUISAN GAKK, V56, P1891 LITVAK MK, 1994, B AQUACULT ASS CAN, V94, P4 MCCRACKEN FD, 1963, J FISH RES BOARD CAN, V20, P551 PITTMAN K, 1990, J FISH BIOL, V37, P455 PRIEDE IG, 1980, J EXP BIOL, V85, P295 SCOTT DM, 1954, J FISH RES BOARD CAN, V11, P171 SCOTT WB, 1988, CAN B FISH AQUAT SCI, V219 SIGHOLT T, 1993, FISH FARMING TECHNOL, P433 SODERBERG RW, 1995, FLOWING WATER FISH C STEEL RGD, 1980, PRINCIPLES PROCEDURE TILSETH S, 1990, AQUACULTURE, V85, P235 TILSETH S, 1992, J WORLD AQUACULTURE, V23, P277 VOYER RA, 1971, J FISH RES BOARD CAN, V28, P1907 WAIWOOD K, 1988, P AQ INT C 6 9 SEPT, P491 WAIWOOD KG, 1994, B AQUACULT ASS CAN, V94, P16 WALLER U, 1992, J APPL ICHTHYOL, V8, P62 WEBB PW, 1971, J EXP BIOL, V55, P521 WOOD CM, 1979, J EXP BIOL, V78, P167; NR: 47; TC: 3; J9: J APPL ICHTHYOL; PG: 6; GA: YT498Source type: Electronic(1
