Abstract

1.
1. Oxygen consumption by Sphaerium simile was determined as a function of temperature and oxygen tension in both whole organism and excised gill and mantle tissue.
2.
2. The whole organism appears to have a homeostatic mechanism that resists environmental fluctuations, within limits; excised tissue exhibits no regulation of oxygen consumption.
