Abstract
The rates of daily average, minimum and maximum oxygen consumption, specific dynamic action (SDA), ingestion and digestibility in Panaeus indicus were measured before, during and after a gradual rise of water temperature from 25 to 31°C at ever 2°C interval. The relationship between energy again and the metabolic costs has also been investigated. Oxygen consumption of P. indicus showed a clear rhythmicity, with low levels during darkness and higher levels during the light period.
