[Influences of body weight and temperature on standard metabolic rate of Paralichthys olivaceus].
The standard metabolic rate of Paralichthys olivaceus was increased with its increasing body weight, whose relationship could be described as a power function. The rate change with temperature could be expressed by an exponential function, Rs = 0.2340 W0.6695 e0.0372T. There was no significant interaction between body weight and temperature in the process of the standard metabolism for the living organism.
