Once adapted to the captive environment, mean minimum respiration rates were 118 mgO 2 kg −1 h −1 for mackerel, body length ( b.l ) range 290 to 380 mm, at 11.1o C at a swimming speed of 0.6 b.l. s 1 and 93 mgO 2 kg −1 h 1 for herring, length range 255 to 310 mm, at 9.3° C at a swimming speed of 0.3 b.l. s 1 .
