Polar, especially Antarctic, oceans host ectothermic fish and invertebrates characterized by
low-to-moderate levels of motor activity; maximum performance is reduced compared with …

Globally, cephalopods support large industrial-scale fisheries and small-scale to partly large-
scale local artisanal fisheries. They are of increasing economic importance as evidenced by …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

Future ocean acidification has the potential to adversely affect many marine organisms. A
growing body of evidence suggests that many species could suffer from reduced fertilization …

Elasticity has been linked to the remarkable propulsive efficiency of pulse-jet animals such
as the squid and jellyfish, but reports that quantify the underlying dynamics or demonstrate …

The capacity to extract oxygen from the environment and transport it to respiring tissues in
support of metabolic demand reportedly has implications for species' thermal tolerance …

1. A general hypothesis is presented to explain interspecific differences in size‐independent
resting metabolic rate. This hypothesis is based on a presumed trade‐off between a low …

The metabolic rates of 33 species of pelagic cephalopods from California and Hawaii were
measured and correlated with minimum depth of occurrence. Mean metabolic rates ranged …

High-speed, high-resolution digital video recordings of swimming squid (Loligo pealei) were
acquired. These recordings were used to determine very accurate swimming kinematics …

Ocean acidification and associated changes in seawater carbonate chemistry negatively
influence calcification processes and depress metabolism in many calcifying marine …
