The respiratory metabolism of some Antarctic fish

Ralph, R; Everson, Inigo. 1968 The respiratory metabolism of some Antarctic fish. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 27 (1). 299-307. 10.1016/0010-406X(68)90772-X

Abstract
1. The metabolic rates of four Antarctic fish have been measured, including the haemoglobin-less Chaenocephalus aceratus. 2. The respiratory rates of the fish are discussed in relation to body weights. 3. C. aceratus has a respiratory rate as high as other Antarctic fish despite its lack of a respiratory pigment. The calculated rate for a 1 kg fish was 45·6 mg O2/hr.
