The effect of decreasing temperature at 2°C day⁻¹ on oxygen consumption (MO₂) of young-of-the-year (YOY), small and adult (large) cunner.

<p>A repeated measures one-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett's post-hoc tests (P<0.05), was used to identify significant differences (*) in MO₂ between the acclimation temperature (9°C) and the other temperatures within each size class. The arrows indicate the temperature at which a rapid decrease in MO₂ was initiated for each size class. Values are mean ±1 S.E. (N = 7 - 8 for each size class).
