title: Q10measures of metabolic performance and critical swimming speed in King George whiting Sillaginodes punctatus.
abstract: This study examined thermally driven changes in swimming performance and aerobic metabolism (Q10and aerobic scope of activity) of adult King George whiting Sillaginodes punctatus to the coldest (16° C) and the warmest (26° C) temperature encountered by this species. Compensation of aerobic scope, higher maximal swimming speeds and a maintained capacity to repay oxygen debt indicate that this species is capable of thermal acclimation to conditions expected under global warming.
