AquaResp" is a free open-source software program developed to
measure the oxygen consumption of aquatic animals using intermittent
flow techniques. This free program is based on Microsoft Excel, and
uses the MCC Universal Library and a data acquisition board to acquire
analogue readings from up to four input ports and output control via
two digital and two analogue ports. In addition AquaResp can read one
COM-port if the oxygen analyser has a RS-232 output signal.
The present version ofthe program has options for parsing data strings
generated by two major fibre optic oxygen electrode manufacturers.
AquaResp was developed with the intention of automating data acquisition
and control by programming in commonly-available software (Microsoft
Excel) and allowing customization by the user without restrictions. The
program has been tested in different laboratories for an extended period
