Swimming respirometry was employed to compare inactive metabolic rate (__R__~r~), maximum metabolic rate (__R__~max~), resultant aerobic scope and maximum sustainable (critical) swimming speed (__U__~crit~), in growth hormone transgenic (GHT) and wild‐type (W) tilapia __Oreochromis__ sp. hybrids. Al
