These conditions of the EPF would convert to an il of , which is quite low. Studies of the EPF of other molluscs yielded roughly similar results (Wada and Fujinuki. 1976; Misi- ogianes and Chasteen. 1979; Nair and Robinson. 1998). Moreover, other solutes of the FPF such as 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. ).
