%W Horizon (IRD)
%X Respiration of african freshwater fishes has not been largely studied. Main works deal with species of interest to aquaculture (mainly Cichlids) or species with some physiological peculiarities such as euryhalinity, from alkaline biotopes or which are air-breathing (Cichlids, catfishes, lungfishes, etc.). Two groups of factors may affect fish respiration. The first including temperature, salinity and body mass, changes oxygen consumption rates by varying the energy requirements of the fish. The second, mainly oxygen tension, limits the ability of fish to ensure the maintenance of basic oxygen requirements. A generalisation of the expression which models the relationships betwen oxygen consumption and body mass, has been proposed by Winberg (1960)
