Oxygen uptake rate (mg O₂ kg⁻¹ min⁻¹) in hawkfish acclimated during the winter (pink; 27 and 31 °C) and summer (orange; 28, 29 and 33 °C). (A) Standard Metabolic Rate (SMR, mg O₂ kg⁻¹ min⁻¹). (B) Maximum Metabolic Rate (MMR, mg O₂ kg⁻¹ min⁻¹). (C) Absolute Aerobic Scope (AAS, mg O₂ kg⁻¹ min⁻¹). Large data points and error bars represent mean ± SEM, and data from individuals are plotted as small data points. Statistics are assessed for winter (pink) and summer (orange) separately. Lowercase letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) between acclimation temperatures within a season (ANOVA). Note that 27 and 28 °C represent ambient temperatures in the wild for the winter and summer, respectively, thus both acting as controls for the respective seasons.
