The effects of temperature and body weight on oxygen consumption rate (OCR) were determined by measuring the dissolved oxygen levels using closed bottle respiratory method. Mean weight specific OCR of B. marmorata juveniles was low (9±4 pgO2h-1g-1). The OCR decreased with time from 16.9±9.1 to 6.09±3.86 ugO2h-1g-1 rapidly declining in the first two hours then, more gradually thereafter (R2=-0.92). Factors such as temperature and size affect OCR. Oxygen consumption rate tends to increase with increasing temperature. Bigger animals have low OCR levels than smaller ones (R2=0.32).ix, 21Sea cucumbersBohadschia marmorataOxygen consumptionRespiration rateTemperature effectsLG 993 2017 B4 C34Thesissea cucumbersBohadschia marmorataoxygen consumptionrespiration ratetemperature effectsSDG 14 - Life below waterSDG 13 - Climate action
