Rates of oxygen consumption and ammonium nitrogen excretion were measured on the solitary and/or aggregate generations of ten species of oceanic salps collected by SCUBA divers during cruises in the Atlantic Ocean (1982)(1983)(1984)(1985). Species that were visibly more active had higher metabolic r
The 30-d survival limit of Eupentacm quinquesemita and StrongSocentrotus droebachiensis is 12-13%o S. The activity coefficient (1 000/righting time in seconds) of stepwise accIimated sea urchins declined from 16.3 at 30%0 S to 3.5 at 15%o S. Oxygen consumption rates (QO2) of both species held at 30%
Respiration and nitrogen-excretion studies were carried out on several species of zooplankton (Meganyctiphanes norvegica, Phronirna sedentaria, Acartia clausi and Sagitta setosa) under starvation. Although all the species were mainly ammonotelie, apparently a significant amount of organic nitrogen w
Excretion of ammonia and inorganic phosphate and respiration of various size classes of Euphausia superba were studied in the Scotia Sea and in the north of the Weddell Sea. Freshly caught krill respired 0.63 ml 0 2 g-1 dw h-1 and excreted 1.46 gg-at NHn-N and 1 Ixg-at PO4-P g-t dw h-1. Carbon made
Embryos of the black snake were found (Clark, '53) to excrete 60% of their nitrogenous waste as urea, 20% as uric acid and 10% as ammonia. Since this performance was in sharp contrast with the expectations as summarized by Needham ('31, '50) the investigation of nitrogen partition in the excreta of
