Title Growth and calorific approximation in
the speckled trout
(Salvelinus fontinalis)
 
Creator Job, S V
 
Subject Food Chemistry
 
Description From the point of view of energy metabolism, appropriate measures of the
rate of oxygen uptake would indicate the energy turnover or the capacity
of the organism to perform external work in relation to its size and under
the prevalent environmental conditions. Estimates of oxygen uptake when
considered in conjunction with growth rate and calorific equivalent of the
metabolic rate, would permit estimates of the total energy requirements
of the individual. It has long been established, that the calorific equivalent
of food consumed corresponds to the heat output plus the heat equivalent
of excreta, and that such a measurement of metabolism can be verified also
by indirect calorimetric methods based on the gas exchange of the animal.
