Description
ABSTRACT: Oxygen uptake/gram/hour (V[O.sub.2]) was determined for Siamese fighting fish, Betta splendens, denied access to the surface either in mirrored or non-mirrored (control) test vessels. Aggressive responses by fish in mirrored vessels resulted in higher V[O.sub.2] across a temperature range of 20 to 36[degrees]C. V[O.sub.2 ] was greater in higher temperatures in both the mirrored and control groups, and was significantly higher ([alpha] = .01) in fish in mirrored vessels. KEY WORDS: Betta splendens; oxygen; mirrors; aggression
