The dependence of metabolic changes of young striped bass, Morone saxatilis, on temperature, salinity and oxygen content of the water was studied. The relationship between the rate of respiration and temperature is quite consistent with the ''normal curve'' common to poikilothermal animals. An increase in salinity up to 10/sup 0///sub 00/ produces a short-term increase in oxygen consumption which is normalized as the fish adjust to the increased salinity. The size of the maintenance rations for young striped bass was calculated in relation to temperature and weight. Data are given on the critical and threshold concentrations of oxygen.
