Figure 2.18 Oxygen consumption as a function of temperature. For the miiuy croaker, the amount of oxygen it consumes increases as the temperature increases. By dividing the rate of oxygen consumption at 25°C by the rate of oxygen consumption at 15°C, one can arrive at the Q10 value for this physiological function. Error bars are standard deviations.
