Fig. 5. Diving metabolic rates (DMR) in relation to mass. Each point is the mean DMR of an individual seal (N=8 seals). The solid line is the line fitted by least-squares regression, weighted by the number of dives from each individual. The equation for this line is: log DMR = log mass (0.76-1.79) (r2=0.92, P<0.0001). The broken line represents Kleiber's prediction of BMR in terrestrial mammals.
