In contrast, the Gill\u2010Oxygen Limitation Theory (GOLT) postulates that (a) fish growth slows because as they grow, their two\u2010dimensional ability to extract oxygen from the water diminishes relative to their three\u2010dimensional weight gain, and (b) they can only invest energy for maturation if oxygen supply at their size at first maturity (<jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>m<\/jats:sub>) exceeds that needed for maintenance metabolism (<jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>\u221e<\/jats:sub>). It has been reported previously across dozens of marine fish species that the relationship between<jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>m<\/jats:sub>and<jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>\u221e<\/jats:sub>is linear and, further, it can be mathematically converted to<jats:italic>L<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>m<\/jats:sub><jats:italic>vs. L<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>\u221e<\/jats:sub>by raising both terms to the power of<jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic>(the gill surface factor), resulting in a slope of 1.36. If the GOLT is universal, a similar slope should exist for<jats:italic>L<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>m<\/jats:sub><jats:sup><jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sup><jats:italic>vs. L<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>\u221e<\/jats:sub><jats:sup><jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sup>relationships for freshwater species across multiple individual populations that reside in disparate habitats, although to our knowledge this has never been evaluated. For analysis, we used existing data from previous studies conducted on 51 stream\u2010dwelling populations of redband trout<jats:italic>Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri<\/jats:italic>, Yellowstone cutthroat trout<jats:italic>O. clarkii bouvieri<\/jats:italic>and mountain whitefish<jats:italic>Prosopium williamsoni<\/jats:italic>.

We briefly discuss select papers both supporting and resisting various aspects of the GOLT, note that it could potentially explain shrinking sizes of marine fish, and call for more concerted research efforts combining laboratory and field expertise in fish growth research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jfb.14555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,23]],"date-time":"2020-09-23T04:00:31Z","timestamp":1600833631000},"page":"44-49","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["The<scp>Gill\u2010Oxygen Limitation Theory<\/scp>and size at maturity\/maximum size relationships for salmonid populations occupying flowing waters"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"98","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1192-3906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin A.","family":"Meyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Idaho Department of Fish and Game Nampa Idaho USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel J.","family":"Schill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Idaho Department of Fish and Game Nampa Idaho USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","first-page":"5","article-title":"Connection between maturity, size and age in fishes","volume":"40","author":"Alm G.","year":"1959","journal-title":"Institute of Freshwater Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/geb.12847"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/f73-108"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9780470715253.ch10"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/cjfas-58-1-220"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/tafs.10199"},{"volume-title":"Handbook of freshwater fishery biology","year":"1969","author":"Carlander K.
