Abstract
The investigations related to seasonal and daily variations of oxygen consumption by liver and kidney of bream with consideration of sex. The results obtained indicate to more intensive respiratory metabolism in autumn in comparison to summer season. Highest metabolic intensity ascertained at males during autumn season.
