Abstract

Measurements of the total oxygen content of post‐ and prebranchial blood in Limulus polyphemus indicate that hemocyanin transports less than half of the oxygen consumed in water but almost 90% in air. Half of the increase in hemocyanin function during air exposure is due to the occurrence of a reverse Bohr effect.

On the addition of hydrochloric acid to the hemocyanin of the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphenius, the solution becomes colorless and loses its capacity to combine with oxygen (Redfield and Mason, '28). This phenonemon has been studied in some detail in the expectation that it might throw additional

## Abstract Blood PO~2~ in the blue crab __Callinectes sapidus__, a very active species of tropical origin, is lower at 22Β°C than that of larger crabs in colder waters. These low oxygen levels permit its hemocyanin to be highly oxygenated at the gill, and to deliver almost half of its oxygen to the
