Fig. 1. Maximum rates of oxygen uptake by isolated mitochondria from trout
oxidative muscle respiring at habitat temperatures. Values from Feb 94, Dec 94
and Feb 96 did not differ but were lower than those for the other times
(ANOVA, a posteriori comparisons, P<0.05). Data from
Guderley and St-Pierre (1999 ).
Values are means ± S.E.M., N=9.
