Abstract
Hydrostatic pressure in the hemocoele of A. vulgare adults ranges from 40-185 mm H2O (2.99-13.66 mmHg); the O2 consumption varies from 13.43 .mu.l O2/mg body wt per h in the males to 14.59 .mu.l O2/mg body wt per h in the females. The specific variations in the O2 consumption rate and the hemolymph pressure during ecdysis in an adult isopod were studied. The significance of these findings is discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
