Abstract
Abstarct—The relationship between oxygen consumption and soft tissue weight in the Gastropoda class (according to the obtained and published data) is expressed by the equation with coefficientsa = 0.71 and k = 0.78. Prosobranch and pulmonate snails have similar levels of oxygen consumption. Opisthobranch snails have higher oxygen consumption. No relationship has been revealed between the metabolic rate (coefficient a) and climatic zone of the gastropod habitat.
