Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Metabolic rates, VO2, were studied in four muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) swimming in a water channel at velocities of 0.2 to 0.75 m/s in water at temperatures of 25 and 30 degrees C. At both water temperatures, VO2 increased linearly with increasing swimming velocity. The VO2 was higher for muskrats swimming in water at 25 than 30 degrees C. The metabolic performance of swimming appears to be influenced by the interaction of swimming velocity and water temperature. |
