Heart rate, survivorship, oxygen consumption, and metabolic end product accumulations in the intertidal limpets Collisella pelta and Collisella digitalis in relation to desiccation and hypoxia

Creator:

Boese, Bruce Leon

Abstract:

The heart rate, oxygen consumption, survivorship, and 1-lactate accumulation were determined in the intertidal limpets Collisella pelta and Collisella digitalis in relation to laboratory desiccation at 15°C or 30°C. Water loss was computed as a percentage of total initial body water (wet weight - dry weight). Although water was lost...
