Table I.

Summary of documented relationships between metabolic traits (SMR, standard metabolic rate; RMR, routine metabolic rate; MMR, maximal metabolic rate; AS, aerobic scope) and behaviours or performance in several species of fishes. Positive (+), negative (−) and non‐existent (none) relationships are shown for each pair of traits. Also shown is the life stage at which the data were collected
