An analysis of the effect of incorporation excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) on the cost of transport (COT) in adult Pacific salmon (data derived from figures 5 and 6). The solid curves represent the COT derived from the direct measurement of Mo₂ during swimming without any adjustment for EPOC (figure 6), and the broken curves represent COT with the derived Mo₂ during swimming with the adjustment for EPOC as shown in figure 6. The derived value for COT at U_crit was 36, 50% higher than the COT measured at U_crit. Data were adapted from Lee et al. (2003b).
