Figure 2. (A) Schematic of one Loligo Systems resting chamber set-up used to quantify RMR. A pump (A1) is used to flush the chamber with fresh seawater from the waterbath. A pump (A2) is used to recirculate water through a closed loop that passes through a flow through oxygen cell, within which oxygen concentration is measured by a fibre optic oxygen sensor (A3). (B) Schematic of a Loligo Systems 170ml mini-swim tunnel used to quantify MMR. A pump (B1) is used to flush the swim tunnel with fresh seawater from the waterbath. Water flow is generated within the swim tunnel by a propeller (B2) and oxygen concentration is measured by a 200mm oxygen dipping probe inserted into the opposite end of the tunnel (B3).
