... elevated heat loss associated with convective cooling and increased heat production that occurs with locomotor activity by the swimmer (Hind and Gurney, 1997). Although sea lions represent one of the larger aquatic species examined, the concept of thermal substitution of heat produced by exercise...

... temperatures(5.5±0.7°C), we investigated the potential of HIF for thermal substitution. After the ingestion of a 100 g herring at thermoneutral conditions, V̇ O 2 was elevated for an average of 328±28 min, during which time birds consumed 2697±294 ml O 2 in excess of the resting rate. At sub-thermoneutral...
