Qubit's swim tunnel respirometers have been developed for measuring the physiology, energetics, behavior, biomechanics and kinematics of swimming fish, through years of research and laboratory use. Applications also include flow visualization studies and public display of swimming animals. The unique and compact design allows adequate space for movements and at the same time a low volume required for reliable oxygen consumption measurements. Acrylic materials and square walls makes for excellent observation of animals from above and from the side. A surrounding temperature bath, external motor and built-in heat exchanger, allow accurate control of water temperatures at all times.

Upgrade
For oxygen consumption measurements, use your own equipment or consider our systems for Automatic Respirometry. For calibrating water velocity in the swim tunnels, we recommend using a 30 mm vane wheel flow probe from Höntzsch.
