SCALING RELATIONSHIPS, INDIVIDUAL VARIATION AND THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON MAXIMUM SWIMMING SPEED IN EARLY SETTLED STAGES OF THE TURBOT SCOPHTHALMUS-MAXIMUS
Escape-swimming speeds (U-max) were studied in settled turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) reared at 18 degrees C. Metamorphosis was complete at 4.0 cm total length (TL). U-max scaled in proportion to TL(0.74) in fish of 0.88 to 8.00 cm TL at 18 degrees C. The scaling relationship for U-max was similar...
