... of vertebrate flight. One such is how the power–speed relationship maps onto metabolic rate during flight, the so-called energy conversion efficiency. There is conflicting empirical evidence concerning how energy conversion possibly varies with flight speed, body mass and body size. As ultimately...

..., there was a significant stimulation of mass gain, gross food conversion efficiency, condition factor and protein production per fish at [ T Amm ]=70 μmol l –1 , without an increase in voluntary food consumption or change in `in-tank' O 2 consumption or ammonia excretion rates. These growth stimulatory effects were...
