Per cent weight loss is logarithmic. The temperatures are 24 and 29° C. and humidities are 75 and 100%. At 75%, the 5 smallest mussels are dead at 29° C. and the 1st, 2nd, and 4th smallest are dead at 24° C. All others are alive. If per cent weight loss is expressed as a function of time, the rate of weight loss is greatest at time 0 and decreases logarithmically with time. The rate is highest in small musse

If per cent weight loss is expressed as a function of time, the rate of weight loss is greatest at time 0 and decreases logarithmically with time. The rate is highest in small mussels and decreases with increasing size. Figure 1 is a semi- logarithmic plot of both per cent weight loss and actual weight loss as functions of size for 39 mussels after 49 hours of desiccation in the first experiment. Per cent weight loss decreases with increasing size, but actual weight loss increases with size and this increase is greater in small than large mussels. An inflection exists in this relationship in the 35-40-mm. region. Kuenzler (1961) found an.
