The routine-active oxygen consumption of the milk fish

Abstract

Seasonal variations in temperature, dissolved oxygen and salinity have great influence upon marine life. However, these factors incidental to the tropical environment have not been fully investigated. In this paper some effects of a sudden change in temperature as well as the effects of various partial pressures of oxygen upon its uptake are presented with reference to Chanos chanos-the milk fish, so widely used in fish culture. An attempt has also been made to relate this study to a limited range of size of the fish.
