Abstract
Calorimetric measurements on a series of live shore animals reveal that as much as 75-80% of the water in these animals is frozen at temperatures to which they are regularly exposed in winter. It appears that part of the water in these animals resists freezing and may be considered bound. The consequences of water loss by freezing are considered.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
