Fig. 1. (A) Rate of oxygen consumption (MO2), (B) cardiac output (Vb), (C) heart rate (fH), (D) cardiac stroke volume (VS), and (E) tissue oxygen extraction [(CaO2-CvO2)] as a function of swimming velocity for Seriola lalandi. The triangle, circles and bold regression lines represent animals at 20°C [(A) N=10; (B-E) N=4], while squares and broken regression lines represent animals at 25°C (N=2). Open symbols are from animals instrumented with EMG electrodes, whereas symbols containing crosses are from animals instrumented with a blood flow cuff. The hatched vertical line represents the approximate maximum sustainable swimming velocity (Umax), about 2.3 BL s-1. Given the lack of steady state swimming at speeds greater than 2.3 BL s-1, MO2 data from four animals that swam for short periods at velocities in excess of this value were pooled and are presented in A as mean ± s.e.m. (open triangle). Dotted lines are extrapolations of regression lines to the vertical axis. Regression equations are given in Table 1.

Fig. 2. Relationship of (A) rate of oxygen consumption (MO2), (B) opercular ventilation rate (fG), (C) net aerobic cost of transport (NCOT), and (D) gross aerobic cost of transport (GCOT) as a function of swimming velocity (up to 2.3 BL s-1) for Seriola lalandi at 20°C and 25°C (symbols as in Fig. 1). In A, the slopes at the tangent to the curves from the origin (bold broken lines) are equal to the optimum swimming velocity (Uopt), which occurs where GCOT is at a minimum (GCOTmin) (illustrated by vertical dotted lines). In B, data have been binned into increments of 0.25 BL s-1 and symbols represent means ± s.e.m. (N=6, n=45).

Fig. 3. Interspecific comparison for teleosts of standard metabolic rate (SMR) versus body mass (Mb) at (A) the temperature at which the measurement was made, and (B) 25°C (corrected using Q10=2.5). Numbers 1-10 and bold regression lines represent non-tuna species considered to be of high performance; numbers 11-21 and broken regression lines represent species of tuna (dotted lines indicate 95% confidence intervals for each regression). 1-3, mackerel Scomer japonicus measured at 124°C (Sepulveda and Dickson, 2000Go), 218°C (Dickson et al., 2002Go) and 315°C (Shadwick and Steffensen, 2000Go); 4-5, salmon Oncorhynchus nerka measured at 424°C (Brett and Glass, 1973Go) and 515°C (Brett, 1965Go); 6-7, rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss measured at 6-715°C (Bushnell et al., 1984Go; Brill, 1987Go); 8, menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus measured at 20°C (Macy et al., 1999Go); 9, bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix measured at 15°C (Freadman, 1979Go); 10, bonito Sarda chiliensis measured at 18°C (Sepulveda et al., 2003Go); 11-14, yellowfin Thunnus albacares measured at 11-1325°C (Brill, 1987Go; Dewar and Graham, 1994Go) and 1424°C (Sepulveda and Dickson, 2000Go); 15-17, skipjack Katsuwonus pelamis measured at 15-1725°C (Brill, 1979Go; Dewar and Graham, 1994Go); 18-20, kawakawa Euthynnus affinis measured at 18-1925°C (Brill, 1987Go) and 2024°C (Sepulveda and Dickson, 2000Go); 21, albacore Thunnus alalunga measured at 15°C (Graham et al., 1989Go). Closed circle represents Seriola quinqueradiata measured at 19°C (Yamamoto et al., 1981Go), and open symbols represent data for Seriola lalandi from the present study measured at 20°C (open circle) and 25°C (open square). For comparative purposes, data for species of Seriola were not included in formulating the regressions.
