Fig. 5. Recovery oxygen consumed (A) and locomotor costs (B) of diving Weddell
seals in relation to the total number of strokes taken during a dive.
Measurements were taken during the post-dive recovery period. Points represent
individual dives. Solid lines are the least squares linear regressions through
the data points as described in the text. Note that only aerobic dives, as
determined from Fig. 2 were
used in these analyses.
