Funds are requested to make final improvements and design changes               needed to establish the SIO water-tunnel respirometer, the                      "elasmotunatron," as a highly functional national facility.  This               facility, built almost entirely from funds provided by NSF DMB                  85-00261, is the largest recirculating water tunnel ever                        constructed for biological studies, and has been designed in such               a manner to allow its use at sea for research on open-water                     pelagic fishes such as tunas, jacks, and certain sharks that                    cannot be kept in healthy condition in laboratory aquaria.  The                 instrument is now fully functional; however, our work with it has               revealed design and performance limitations that can be rectified               to permit superior performance.  Funds required to complete                     modification of the basic structure and operational features are                requested.
