Resting and maximum oxygen consumption rates (MO2) were measured in the European eel(Anguilla anguilla) acclimated to 0, 10, 20 and 30°C in order to quantify the effect of ambienttemperature on metabolic rate and on aerobic metabolic scope. Standard metabolic rate (SMR),maximum metabolic rate (MMR) and absolute metabolic scope (MSABS) was significantlysuppressed at 0°C compa...
