  abstract = {{T}he aim of the present work was to implement indirect calorimetry method to study energy metabolism of an air-breathing neotropical fish, #{H}oplosternum littorale$. {A} closed respirometer was designed to measure the gas exchanges of this air-breathing fish in both aerial and aquatic media. {T}he accuracy and the validity of the method were tested. {T}he energy expenditure of fish fasted for 10 days and the involvement of energy-yielding body stores were calculated from the measurements of {O}2 uptake, {CO}2 output, and the nitrogen excretion of fasted {A}tipas. {T}he average energy expenditure was 1.58k{J}/kg/hr and endogenous lipids were the main energy purveyor.
