Fry were reared in Windermere lakewater at pH 7.0 or acidified to pH 4.5–5.0. Oxygen uptake by 0.1–5.0 g fry was compared at pH 7.0 and 4.0, using artificial lakewater in the respirometer. No significant differences in oxygen uptake were found at these two pH levels. Measurements of oxygen uptake by sea trout fry ( Salmo trutta L.) at pH 7.0 are included.
