Abstract
⺠Activity patterns and field metabolic rates of bonefish were quantified. ⺠Acceleration transmitters, ethograms, and respirometry methodologies were used. ⺠Bonefish exhibit a number of strategies that maximize energy efficiency. ⺠Bonefish typically operate at between 40-60% of their estimated metabolic scope. ⺠Occasionally bonefish exhausted the majority of their metabolic scope.
