In juvenile Crocodylus porosus, the dependence of oxygen consumption on temperature can be described by the relationship log10 \documentclass{aastex}

\begin{document}$${\mathrm{Q_{O_{2}}}}$$\end{document} = 0.7221 + 0.0428T C. The Q10 was found to be 2.68 over the temperature range 20-33 C. No trend was observed between body weight and weight-specific oxygen consumption. At Ta (27-33 C) respiratory quotient (RQ) (measured gasometrically) was invariably low (0.32 - 0.74, mean 0.49, 0.13 SD) in animals from freshwater. The low values of gasometric RQ are attributed to incorporation of carbon dioxide in the urine, forming ammonium bicarbonate. Support for this hypothesis is afforded by the similarity of measured values (0.49) to values predicted by the hypothesis (0.51).
