“…Previous swimming respirometer studies have incorporated various devices to control background microbial metabolism (Marshall and Orr 1958), dissolved oxygen levels (Tackett et al 1974;Steffensen et al 1984;Gehrke and Fielder 1988), water pH (Thillart et al 1983;Steffensen et al 1987), and nitrogenous wastes (Hughes et al 1983;Gehrke and Fielder 1988), as well as temperature regime. Computers have also been used to monitor oxygen levels within a respirometer (Steffensen et al 1984).…”

This paper describes the design of a modified Brett-type respirometer for use with fish up to 2 kg at swimming speeds as high as 2.5 m·s(-1). Control of the respirometer, experimental monitoring and data acquisition are performed by computer. Water velocity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide can be controlled at predetermined levels to enable experiments to be conducted over several days with minimal deterioration in water quality.
