CLARK use of a double logarithmic regression, has the formula: y = 533 .r-°-164, where y is the rate of oxygen uptake in per gm. per hour, and x is the body weight in milligrams. The rate of oxygen uptake, expressed as microliters of oxygen used per animal per hour by multiplying the right hand side of the above equation by x/1000, gave the formula: y = .r°-836.

IO 20 30 BODY WEIGHT (MGMS.) FIGURE 1. The relationship between the rate of oxygen consumption of Talitrus sylvatlcus and body weight at 25° C. of the animals (graphs A, B and C), and the effect of season on the rate of respira- tion of Talitrus over a range of temperatures. A comparison of the graphs in rectangles A, B and C of Figure 2 shows that the rate of oxygen uptake of small Talitrus (mean body weight mg.), was higher than that of medium and large animals (mean body weights mg. and 21 mg., respectively), at temperatures above 15° C. The increase in the respira- tory rate of the smallest animals, with increasing temperature, was more rapid than the corresponding increase in that of the largest animals. For example, be- tween 20° C. and 30° C. the Qlrt of Talitrus of mean body weight mg. was in winter while the Q]0 of Talitrus of 21 mg. mean body weight was in 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. ).
