Table 1. Metabolic variables (mean ± S. E.) in lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens representing three different test groups: control (100% O_2sat; 12L∶12D); treatment A (30% O_2sat; 12L∶12D); and treatment B (100% O_2sat; 24L).

Metabolic variable	Control	Treatment A	Treatment B
SMR (mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹)	88.44±3.54^a	97.23±4.06^a	91.50±2.34^a
MMR_F30.5 (mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹)	338.25±8.06^a	167.49±5.81^b	328.43±8.29^a
MMR_S (mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹)	311.91±13.60^a	168.72±7.57^b	265.24±18.44^c

Sample size (n) is 8–12 for each test group. Different superscript letters indicate significant differences (P<0.05) between test groups. SMR is the standard metabolic rate. MMR_F30.5 and MMR_S are the forced and spontaneous maximum metabolic rates, respectively. Measurements of MMR_F30.9 are body mass adjusted to a 30.5 g fish. Body mass adjustments of MMR_S to a 30.5 g fish (i.e. equivalent to MMR_F30.5) change MMR_S values by <1% and have no impact on the conclusions.
