No full textThe effects of swimming pattern on the energy use of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.)
No full textOxygen consumption (MO2) was measured for gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) during spontaneous and forced activities. During spontaneous activity, the swimming pattern was analysed for the effect on MO2 on the average speed (U), turning rate ( ) and change in speed (DU). All swimming characteristics contributed significantly to the source of spontaneous swimming costs, and the models explained up to 58 % of the variation i
