Effect of body size, temperature and starvation on oxygen consumption of antarctic krill Euphausia superba
Routine oxygen consumption of krill was investigated as a general measure of its metabolism and assesses the effects of body size, temperature and starvation on the metabolism. No significant difference in whole animal consllmption was detected after 1,3,5 and 7 days of starvation. The response of m...
