1. The oxygen consumption rates of 3rd- and 4th-instar larvae of Chironomus riparius have been measured at 10 and 20° C. using a constant-volume respirometer. 2. The oxygen consumption is approximately proportional to the 0.7 power of the dry weight: it is not proportional to the estimated surface area. 3. This relationship between oxygen consumption and dry weight is the same at 10 and at 20° C.. 4. The rate of oxygen consumption at 20° C. is greater than at 10° C. by a factor of 2.6. 5. During growth the percentage of dry matter of 4th-instar larvae increases from 10 to 16 and the specific gravity from 1.030 to 1.043. 6. The change in the dry weight/wet weight ratio during the 4 larval instar supports the theory of heterauxesis. 7. At 20° C., ‘summer’ larvae respire faster than ‘winter’ larvae.

Callinectes sapidus and C. similis co-occur in estuarine waters above 15 salinity. Callinectes sapidus also inhabits more dilute waters, but C. similis is rarely found below 15 . Previous work suggests that C. sapidus may be a better hyperosmoregulator than C. similis. In this study, energy metabolism and the levels of transport-related enzymes in excised gills were used as indicators of adaptation to low salinity. Oxygen consumption rates and mitochondrial cytochrome content of excised gills increased in both species as acclimation salinity decreased, but to a significantly greater extent in C. similis gills. In addition, C. similis gills showed the same levels of carbonic anhydrase and Na+/K+-ATPase activities and the same degree of enzyme induction during low-salinity adaptation as has been reported for C. sapidus gills. However, hemolymph osmolality and ion concentrations were consistently lower in C. similis at low salinity than in C. sapidus. Therefore, although gills from low-salinity-acclimated C. similis have a higher oxygen consumption rate and more mitochondrial cytochromes than C. sapidus gills and the same level of transport-related enzymes, C. similis cannot homeostatically regulate their hemolymph to the same extent as C. sapidus.
