Animal Size

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.

This chapter describes the theory and practical applications of coulometric respirometry. Coulometric respirometry is probably the most accurate method for measuring oxygen consumption rates. It is ideal for small animals and has the dual advantages of high sensitivity and the fact that the oxygen in the organism’s environment is not depleted, allowing measurements to continue for long periods in many cases. The technique works by maintaining a constant pressure in a sealed system by electrolytically producing oxygen at the same rate at which an enclosed organism consumes it.
