On the Oxygen Consumption of Carp Juvenile, Cyprinus carpio L.

Oxygen consumption rate of carp juvenile from 7 days to 2 months after hatching and growing in pond was measured in respiratory chamber of laboratory. The oxygen consumption rate of juvenile increased as the body size increased, but the specific weight oxygen consumption rate was decreased with body weight. The relationship between the oxygen consumption rate(R) and body length(L) or body weight(W) were showed allometiric equation as R=0.4840L2.8115(r²=0.8637), R = 25.8140W0.8893(r²=0.8894), respectively. The crossing point from individual oxygen consumption rate and specific weight oxygen consumption rate on the water temperature was appeared at around 25.7℃. It means that metabolic efficiency of carp juvenile being affected by temperature when the water temperature over 26℃.
