In a Bio207 lab you determine that the cost of transport for two fish from different species is 1 kJ/km for fish one, and 10 kJ/km for fish two. Provide an estimate of the swimming speed of each fish assuming that a) both fish have the same metabolic rate; b) fish two has a metabolic rate 10 times higher than the metabolic rate of fish one; and c) fish one has a metabolic rate that is 100 times smaller than the metabolic rate of fish two.

Question
In a Bio207 lab you determine that the cost of transport for two fish from different
species is 1 kJ/km for fish one, and 10 kJ/km for fish two. Provide an estimate of the
swimming speed of each fish assuming that a) both fish have the same
fish two has a metabolic rate 10 times higher than the metabolic rate of fish one; and c) fish
one has a metabolic rate that is 100 times smaller than the metabolic rate of fish two. Note
that the ratio of metabolic rate to speed defines the cost of transport in units of
energy/distance
