Logarithm of metabolic rate while resting in water (SMR; in litres of oxygen per minute) as a function of the logarithm of body mass (in kilograms) for one female Australian fur seal (n = 13), one male Australian fur seal (n = 16), three male New Zealand furseals (n = 31), five female Australian sea lions (n = 68) and two male Australian sea lions (n = 26). The line plotted is the fitted equation: log(SMR) = −3.48 + 0.66log(mass).
