Each point represents a pooled sam- ple of 10 to 20 individuals of approximately the same size. The average curve was fitted by inspection. At each salinity there was a large variation in the rate of mineral regenerate production by both species. This variability was expressed as the sample standard deviation (Snedecor, 1956) in Table I. The rate of mineral regenerate production by H. brachyacantha was less variable than that by E. dianthiis at each salinity. Size and the rate of mineral regenerate production Much of the observed variability in the rate of mineral regenerate production at different salinities can be attributed to differences in the rate of mineral regenerate production by worms of different sizes. Figure 4 shows the effect of size on the relative rate of mineral regenerate production by E. dianthns in normal sea water. The rate decreased approximately exponentially with increasing size of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
