The method of Barker and Summerson has been modified suitably for estimating lactic acid in the fish medium: decarbonated tap water.T. mossambica excreted 25·7, 31·1 and 31·6 mg/kg/hr of lactate at 35 cm/sec of swimming speed and 47·0, 60·2 and 54·6 mg/kg/hr of lactate at 93 cm/sec of swimming speed at the end of 1 hr of exercise at 25, 30 and 35°C respectively.
