Water temperature was increased from ambient starting temperature using a 2000 Watt titanium heater (Istra Elements, Australia) modified with a programmable PID controller (SmartPID, Arzaman, Italy). Following an acclimation time within the respirometers of minimum 11 hours, temperatures were ramped ...
