Abstract
The swim bladder gas of Wallago attu contains O2 (22-58 mm Hg) and the presence or absence of Isoparorchis hypselobagri does not influence the O2 content of the swim bladder. Glucose increases the O2 consumption of I. hypselobagri by 50%. With the passage of in vitro culture time, the rate of O2 consumption gradually decreases to the extent of 64% on the 40th day. The optimal temperature for O2 consumption is 30 degrees C beyond which the rise in temperature is detrimental to the fish trematode as manifested by the decrease in their O2 consumption.
