Abstract
We measured respiratory flow, breath duration, and calculated tidal volume (VT) in nine belugas (Delphinapterus leucas, mean measured body mass: 628 ± 151 kg, n = 5) housed in managed care facilities. Both spontaneous (resting at station) and trained maximal respirations (chuffs) were measured. The mean (±s.d.) inspiratory VT for spontaneous breaths (16.7 ± 4.7 l, range: 7.5-18.7 l) was larger than those predicted based on respiratory scaling...
