The Oxygen consumption of hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops ♀ M. saxatilis ♂) was measured in relation to water temperature, salinity and photoperiod changes. Fish (574.0101.3 g) was individually exercised in a chamber for 24 h at 2$0^{circ}C$, 24$^{circ}C$ and 28$^{circ}C$ with two salinity conditions (0 and 33 psu). Stepwise, the increase of water temperature induced a strong increase of the oxygen consumption. Salinity and photoperiod had an influence on the oxygen consumption of hybrid striped bass, even though there was not a consistent tendency between those.
