The effect of trophic exposure to pyrolitic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAH ) on aerobic metabolism of zebrafish Danio rerio was investigated. There were no significant differences in standard metabolic rate ( SMR ), active metabolic rate ( AMR ) or aerobic metabolic scope ( AS ) at any sublethal concentration of PAH in the diet of adult or juvenile fish. This suggests that under these experimental conditions, exposure to PAH in food did not influence aerobic metabolism of this species.
