Abstract
1. 1. The respiration rate for the talitrid amphipod, Talorchestia capensis, was determined during the summer and winter months of 1983. 2. 2. The value of the exponent b in the mass/metabolism equation differed significantly during the different seasons, but no significant difference was found between different temperatures within the same season. 3. 3. Q 10 was slightly dependent on body size and increased with decreasing temperature. 4. 4. The oxygen consumption showed that T. capensis had a circadian rhythm with a periodicity of ca 24 hr, and a weak tidal rhythm, with maximum activity coinciding with the high tide period at night.
