This release includes data used to fit mass- and temperature-dependent functions for consumption and respiration of redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) based on controlled laboratory experiments of maximum consumption (Cmax) rates and routine metabolic rates using intermittent-flow respirometry, across a range of fish sizes (0.6–27.3 g) and temperatures (5–31° C). Long term growth experiments were conducted to evaluate performance of the resulting bioenergetics model. Initial bioenergetic simulations of long-term growth experiments indicated large model error for predicted consumption and growth, and a growth rate error (GRE) correction was developed as a function of daily consumption rate (J·g-1·d-1) and water temperature, and included in the model framework on a daily timestep. Daily and summary data is included for all simulations with and without the error correction function. The R code used for these simulations (modified from Fish Bioenergetics 4.0, Deslauriers et al. 2017) is also included (in the attached FB4.zip) for reference.
