Brett, J. R. (1965).  The relation of size to rate of oxygen consumption and 
sustained swimming speed of sockeye salmon Onchorynchus nerka. Journal of the 
Fisheries Research Board of Canada.  22:1491-1501.
	
The relation of size (log weight, g) to metabolic rate (log O2-uptake, mg O2/hr) 
of sockeye salmon was found to have a continuous change in slope (0.78-0.97) 
with increasing activity at 15 oC.  The slope of the equation relating the 60-
min sustained swimming speed (log speed, cm/sec) to length (cm) had a value of 
0.50, demonstrating a rapid decrease in relative performance with increasing 
size.  [abstract generated by bibliography authors]
