 tude and ecological implications of thermal 

 inertia in skipjack tuna, Ka tsuwonus pelami s 

 (Linnaeus). Environ. Biol. Fish. 1 : 61-80. 



Suggested that large thermal inertia and high 

 rates of metabolism may pose ecological prob- 

 lems for skipjack tuna as they grow in body 

 mass. This means that as size increases with 

 age there are temperature areas that the fish 

 can no longer tolerate. Authors hypothesized 

 that an increased thermal inertia may be im- 

 portant in the perception of the weak hori- 

 zontal gradients of temperature that charac- 

 terize the high-seas habitat of skipjack 

 tuna. 



KEY WORDS: tuna, skipjack, thermal regula-
