Results The concentration of hemocyanin in native blood (he- molymph) was 93 g 1~' for Megaleledone senoi and 142 g 1 ' for Sepia officinalis. This is equivalent to a maximum level of hemocyanin-bound oxygen of mmol O: 1~' in the octopod and of mmol 1~' in Sepia. For M. senoi hemocyanin, the highest pH sensi- tivity of oxygen binding was found at 10 °C, as indicated by maximum slopes AS/ApH (Fig. 2). Lower tempera- tures resulted in a somewhat decreased pH sensitivity of oxygen affinity, with a maximum of AS/ApH = 13% per pH unit at 10 °C, compared to a maximum of 10% per pH unit at 0 °C. Saturation at 0 °C did not fall below 43% even at low pH ( and ) and low Po2 (1 kPa). At 10 °C, saturation dropped to a minimum of 32% at the same 100 r — 50% S-. PH Figure 2.
