This review and data analysis outline how fish biologists should most reliably estimate the
minimal amount of oxygen needed by a fish to support its aerobic metabolic rate (termed …

The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) predicts the effects of body size and temperature on
metabolism through considerations of vascular distribution networks and biochemical …

Metabolic costs can be extremely high in marine fish larvae and gaining reliable estimates of
the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on those costs is important to understand …

Essential amino acid (EAA) requirements of aquaculture fish species can be used as a
guideline for commercial feed formulation. Several EAA requirements have been quantified …

The objective of this study was to investigate the potential effect of graded levels of
tryptophan on the growth, cannibalism, and 5‐hydroxytryptpamine (5‐TH) metabolism in …

Metabolism, growth, and the assimilation of energy and materials are essential processes
that are intricately related and depend heavily on animal size. However, models that relate …

The question of how the scaling of metabolic rate with body mass (M) is achieved in animals
is unresolved. Here, we tested the cell metabolism hypothesis and the organ size hypothesis …

While metabolism is a fundamental feature of all organisms, the causes of its scaling with
body mass are not yet fully explained. Nevertheless, observations of negative correlations …

Abstract Design constraints imposed by increasing size cause metabolic rate in animals to
increase more slowly than mass. This ubiquitous biological phenomenon is referred to as …

Abstract Both Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) and tree forests have a large
biomass; they are considered to play an important role in ecosystem carbon budgets. The …
