Recovery after exhaustive exercise for fish acclimated during the winter (27 and 31 °C) and summer (28, 29 and 33 °C). (A) Metabolic rate (MO2) post chase during the first 60 min of recovery. Biexponential curves are fit for each acclimation temperature and each data point represents a measurement at a timepoint for an individual fish. Dashed lines represent average SMR for that acclimation temperature. (B–F) Percent absolute aerobic scope (%AAS) recovered during the first 180 min following exhaustive exercise for fish acclimated in the winter (pinks): 27 [N = 8] and 31 °C [N = 4] and summer (oranges): 28 [N = 10], 29 [N = 9], and 33 °C [N = 19]). Values at 0 indicate MMR. Logarithmic growth curves are fit to each acclimation temperature as described in the methods. The grey horizontal line marks the point at which each treatment reaches 75% AAS. Individual data points are presented for each fish at each timepoint.
