We measured oxygen consumption, blood flow and heart rate at rest and at maximum activity in eels exposed to different temperatures. We found that, although the ability to increase heart rate in response to heavy exercise was reduced at temperatures close to the upper critical temperature, this did not limit the oxygen consumption.
