✦ Synopsis

The oxygen consumption of a freshwater shrimp Caridina fernandoi is measured at 28°C in three levels (viz) the standard (the minimum level compatible with life), the active (the maximum possible under forced activity) and the routine when the organisms are spontaneously active . The measurement was made both when oxygen partial pressure was not and was limiting oxygen uptake by the organism . New techniques are described for these measurements .
