Figure 3

Consistent hypoallometric scaling of maximum and resting metabolic rates across acute temperatures in barred surfperch. (a) Maximum metabolic rates (MMR) and (b) resting metabolic rates (RMR) scaled similarly with b = 0.81 and consistently with acute temperature change from 16 °C to 12 °C (blue), 16 °C (green; control), 20 °C (light pink), and 22 °C (dark pink) (mixed model estimates). The squares are reproductively active females. Fish were repeat tested at each temperature; MMR: n = 83 (238); RMR: n = 81 (233), individuals (observations).
