Abstract
1. 1. Oxygen consumption and production rates were measured in two species of colonial ascidians that contained the algal symbiont, Prochloron. 2. 2. Despite differences in size and habitats, the colonies showed similar rates of oxygen consumption and production. 3. 3. Oxygen production by the colonies was light dependent. 4. 4. Based on the data presented, the symbiosis is similar to other algal-invertebrate symbioses in producing more oxygen than is consumed when illuminated.
