Abstract

The respiration rate or oxygen consumption of globefish (Takifugu rubripe) can be expressed as :

            R(θ) = 0.764Q01(θ-20)W0.71

where R(q) =unfed and resting metabolism measured as weight of oxygen consumed per fish per hour (mgO2/hr) at θoC, Q01 = temperature coefficient for unfed and resting metabolism (1.076), W=fresh body weight in grams. The body weight exponent (δ) is expressed as the values of 0.71 whilst the level of metabism at 20oC (α(20)) is 0.764. The respiration of globefish with average body weight 538 g, the value was 87 mgO2/hr. Comparing to other fishes, the respiration rate of globefish was only 1.25% of total cultured fish in Yashima Bay.
