Fig. 3. Interspecific comparison for teleosts of standard metabolic rate (SMR) versus body mass (M_b) 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, 2000), ²18°C (Dickson et al., 2002) and ³15°C (Shadwick and Steffensen, 2000); 4-5, salmon Oncorhynchus nerka measured at ⁴24°C (Brett and Glass, 1973) and ⁵15°C (Brett, 1965); 6-7, rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss measured at ^6-715°C (Bushnell et al., 1984; Brill, 1987); 8, menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus measured at 20°C (Macy et al., 1999); 9, bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix measured at 15°C (Freadman, 1979); 10, bonito Sarda chiliensis measured at 18°C (Sepulveda et al., 2003); 11-14, yellowfin Thunnus albacares measured at ^11-1325°C (Brill, 1987; Dewar and Graham, 1994) and ¹⁴24°C (Sepulveda and Dickson, 2000); 15-17, skipjack Katsuwonus pelamis measured at ^15-1725°C (Brill, 1979; Dewar and Graham, 1994); 18-20, kawakawa Euthynnus affinis measured at ^18-1925°C (Brill, 1987) and ²⁰24°C (Sepulveda and Dickson, 2000); 21, albacore Thunnus alalunga measured at 15°C (Graham et al., 1989). Closed circle represents Seriola quinqueradiata measured at 19°C (Yamamoto et al., 1981), 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.
