Supplementary material Appendix 1. Timing of SMR measurements post-feeding The primary literature was searched using the Web of Science and article citation for studies that measured SMR on juvenile salmonids. Although the data set is not exhaustive (i.e. some studies were likely missed), it should be representative since the only selection criteria was that the study measure SMR of salmonids (primarily juveniles) and that the time from cessation of feeding to SMR measurement be reported in the methods.
