In fishflux: Model Elemental Fluxes in Fishes

A function to calculate metabolic rates

Description

All model parameters below were estimated by Barneche & Allen 2018 Ecology Letters doi: 10.1111/ele.12947. These parameters are for the best model (Model 2 in the paper online supplementary material) of fish resting metabolic rates reported in the paper, which also includes trophic level as a covariate.

Usage

metabolic_rate(temp, troph, asp, B0, m_max, m, a, growth_g_day, f)

Arguments

temp	Temperature in degrees Celsius
troph	Trophic level (from 1 to 5)
asp	The caudal fin aspect ratio , a proxy for activity level
B0	Constant for resting metabolic rate. If NA, function will calculate an average.
m_max	Maximum biomass fish (in g)
m	Wet weight fish (in g)
a	Resting metabolic rate mass-scaling exponent
growth_g_day	Daily growth in grams of wet weight
f	Activity scope (from 1 to 4)

Value

A dataframe with metabolic rates.
