In a study of energy flow through the stickleback population of Ikroavik Lake, northern Alaska, oxygen consumption was related to weight and temperature by the equation Log Y = −2.795 +.823 W +.094 T where Y = μl∙min −1 O 2 uptake; W = log weight, mg; and T = temperature. Growth was fairly rapid, wi...
