Fresh water prawns, Macrobrachium lamarrei were subjected to acute concentration, 0.304 mg/l (96h LC50) of Copper sulphate to evaluate its effects on scaphognathite oscillations and oxygen consumption rate. Scaphognathite oscillations showed initial increase after 24h, thereafter significantly (t = 9.24; P<0.001) decreased up to 72h and finally tend to increase after 96h but remained below the controls where as oxygen consumption showed continuous decreasing trend through out the experiment up to 96h (t = 16.53; P<0.001) than control ones. Possible interaction of copper in relation to respiration of these economically important crustaceans has been discussed.

1. A size factor is demonstrated for the oxygen consumption at 14.5° C. of four species of fresh-water Turbellaria obtained from different habitats. 2. For three of the species studied (Polycelis cornuta, Crenobia alpina and Planaria polychroa) small animals were found to have a higher oxygen consumption per unit weight than large ones. In the case of Polycelis nigra small animals were shown to have a lower oxygen consumption per unit weight than large ones. 3. The adherence of the size factor to the surface law of Rubner is discussed. Only Crenobia alpina satisfies the theoretical requirements of the law, and in this species it is shown that the size factor is practically unchanged when the oxygen consumptions are determined at 7.0° C. instead of 14.5° C.
