Description:Lonthair et al. (2024) present data from an experiment designed to test the gill oxygen limitation (GOL) hypothesis by coupling measurements of gill surface area (GSA) and metabolic rate (MR) scaling with fish growth. We found that brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) reared under warmer temperatures grew slower than those under cold temperatures and concluded that there was no evidence for oxygen limitation at the gills as GSA grew faster (scaled higher) than MR. In contrast, the correspondence article of Pauly and Müller (2024) asserts that our results are not in conflict with GOL. However, after careful review of the prior literature on the topic as well as our data, we maintain the validity of our original data interpretations.
