Diagonal line indicates equal internal and external con- centration; Na+ concentrations for Arenicola marina: 1, from Robertson (1949); 2, from Nesterov and Skulski (1965). Figure 5 presents the results of water content determinations of Ab. pad fie a adapted to a wide range of salinities. A single regression line (method of least squares) was fitted to the data. The results show that the water content of Ab. pacifiea is strongly dependent upon the external salinity: the lower salinity, the more hydrated the worms become. DISCUSSION Abarenicola pacifiea is an osmotic conformer over the entire salinity range tested (29% to 96% SW). Over this entire salinity range, the coelomic fluids.
