a,b, Seawater temperature (a) and oxygen (b) profiles from 500 km to 2,000 km off the coast of the eastern Pacific Ocean (Extended Data Fig. 4; World Ocean Atlas 2018). c, Colour map of Dosidicus gigas FAS calculated using measured rates and temperature coefficients (Supplementary Table 1 and Extended Data Fig. 1) and environmental profiles (a,b). d, FAS of the euphausiid, Nyctiphanes simplex, estimated with a high (EMMR = 1.0 eV) temperature coefficient for MMR. Calculations are anchored at 25 °C assuming that Pcmax is 21 kPa (air saturation) at that temperature. Grey shading indicates FAS < 1.
