Marine Mammal EnergeticsJeff Richardson2022-03-15T15:22:12-07:00

Measuring marine mammal energetics is a key component for resource management assessments. For example, with a good measure of the variability within a population, the quantity or quality of food needed for sustaining a viable population can be modeled. Metabolic means by which an animal exploits or is constrained by its environment can be elucidated with lab to field respirometry. But the elemental marine environment presents unique logistical challenges to the researcher.

Important System Considerations

  • High resolution MR and RQ
  • Rugged compact design for field use
  • Water resistant, long battery life
  • High flow range from 100 to 1800 L/min
  • Directly measured water vapor pressure
