Aerobic scope explains individual variation in feeding capacity.
Links between metabolism and components of fitness such as growth, reproduction and survival can depend on food availability. A high standard metabolic rate (SMR; baseline energy expenditure) or aerobic scope (AS; the difference between an individual's maximum and SMR) is often beneficial when food is abundant or easily accessible but can be less important or even disadvantageous when food leve...
متن کاملThe gill parasite Paramoeba perurans compromises aerobic scope, swimming capacity and ion balance in Atlantic salmon
The parasitic amoeba Paramoeba perurans is an aetiological agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD), a serious problem in seawater salmonid aquaculture globally. Other finfish species are also infected and infection events may be associated with periods of unusual high temperatures. Currently little is known about the impact of AGD on wild fish, but in a time with global warming and increasing aquac...
متن کاملVO2max and aerobic scope in mammals
Debate on the mechanism(s) responsible for the scaling of metabolic rate with body size in mammals has focused on why the maximum metabolic rate ( _ VO2max) appears to scale more steeply with body size than the basal metabolic rate (BMR). Consequently, metabolic scope, defined as _ VO2max /BMR, systematically increases with body size. These observations have led some to suggest that _ VO2max an...
متن کاملFood Limitation in Larval Fish: Ontogenetic Variation in Feeding Scope and Its Potential Effect on Survival
We used the radiated shanny Ulvaria subbifurcata as a model species to explore the relative gut fullness from hatch to metamorphosis of wild larvae, and compared these values with those of laboratory-reared larvae fed at maximum rates. Ingestion rates of most wild larvae were above starvation levels but below the maximum feeding levels of laboratory-reared larvae. Twenty-six percent of freshly-...
متن کاملEvaluating dispersal potential of an invasive fish by the use of aerobic scope and osmoregulation capacity
Non-indigenous species (NIS) can impact marine biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Once introduced into a new region, secondary dispersal is limited by the physiology of the organism in relation to the ambient environment and by complex interactions between a suite of ecological factors such as presence of predators, competitors, and parasites. Early prediction of dispersal poten...
