Abstract

1. 1. Storage of winkles at raised temperatures results in an increase in the temperature at which the thermal optima of the active and standard rates of oxygen consumption occurs. 2. 2. The temperature range over which metabolic compensation of the standard rate occurs is also controlled by the acclimation temperature. 3. 3. At least two phenomena accompany the process of thermal acclimation in cell-free homogenates of winkles and mussels. 4. 4. The first, occuring after 2 days, involves alteration in the thermal tolerance or a point beyond which a decline in oxygen consumption occurs. After 7 days a Q 10 of <1.2 is developed.
