nitrogen excretion rate and oxygen consumption and temperature

In a lab we looked at the effects of different temperatures on the rate of oxygen consumption and nitrogen excretion in the goldfish.  we found that oxygen consumption and nitrogen excretion both increased as the temperature increased.  What are some reasons for these increses in oxygen consumption and nitrugen excretion with increases in temperature?
