The optimal combination of standard metabolic rate and aerobic scope for somatic growth depends on food availability (2015, methodology): “…survival in juvenile salmonid fishes (S. salar and S. trutta) have been found to be positive, negative or nonsignificant depending on which stream they are measured in, even when the genetic make-up of indi- viduals does not differ across streams ( Alvarez & Nicieza 2005; Robertsen et al. 2014).”
A relationship between metabolic rate and risk-taking behaviour is revealed during hypoxia in juvenile European sea bass (2012, background): “Individuals with higher metabolic rates may grow faster given the right environmental conditions (Álvarez & Nicieza 2005; Bochdansky et al. 2005), but may also be less tolerant of hypoxia, which could make them more susceptible to predation due to hypoxia-associated”
