The R package 'FishResp' is designed to calculate metabolic rate of aquatic organisms measured using an intermittent-flow respirometry approach. Raw respirometry data can be imported from:

• PumpResp (open-source pump controller by FishResp)
• SensResp (open-source DO meter by FishResp).
• AutoResp (by LoligoSystems)
• Pyro Oxygen Logger (by PyroScience)
• OxyView (by PreSens)
• AquaResp (free software)
• Q-box Aqua (by QubitSystems)

The idea behind FishResp, an analysis pipeline and case studies are described in the academic publication by Morozov et al. (2019). Technical information about R functions and demo data can be found in Reference Manual. Brief descriptions of the R package 'FishResp' and other open-source tools for aquatic respirometry are located at the website fishresp.org.

The stable version of the ‘FishResp’ package can be installed from CRAN:
install.packages("FishResp").

Alternativelly, download the latest release from GitHub and install using the following command:
devtools::install_github("embedded-sergey/FishResp-Rpackage@*release").

If you are not familiar with the R language, please check out the graphical implementation of the R package: FishRespGUI.
