| Abstract: | Summary Rates of oxygen consumption in shallow dwelling cottid fish from Lake Baikal were unaffected by a change in pressure from 11 to 51 ata. The metabolic rate of deep cottids decreased by 72% when the pressure was decreased by 50% from that corresponding to habitat depth. Recovery from decreased pressures was incomplete in deep fish, suggesting that measurements of in deep dwelling fish in the literature may underestimate actual rates.Acknowledgments.
