Respiratory rates in the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia dubia in Lake Rotongaio, a monomictic lake

Received on November 7, 1986; accepted on March 26, 1987 The experimentally measured oxygen consumption rate by the cladoceran, Ceriodaphnia dubia, showed a linear increase between 5 and 20°C. Oxygen consumption rates of C. dubia were estimated in situ from respiratory electron transport system (ETS) activity in Lake Rotongaio during summer stratification and winter mixing. Oxygen consumption was 0.002 µl O2 animal–1 h–1 in the hypolimnion and 0.076 µl O2 animal–1 h–1 in the epilimnion during stratification. Implications of respired oxygen for metabolic carbon requirements are discussed.
