Abstract
Oxygen consumption has been measured in two species of meiobenthic and euryhaline oligochaetes as a function of weight and salinity, using the Cartesian Diver method. Regression analysis showed the same uptake at salt concentrations between 3–25 ‰ for Marionina achaeta, and between 3–30‰ for M. spicula. Outside these limits oxygen uptake/h/unit weight first increased and then decreased, indicating a metabolic disturbance.
