Numerous resting unfed water-breathers have a strategy of gas-exchange regulation that consists of setting the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (Pao2) at 1-3 kPa. This raises a question concerning the extent to which physiological functions are limited in this situation. To obtain insight into this problem, we studied the steady-state adaptation of the blood-oxygen transfer system in the crab Carcinus maenas during the doubling of the oxygen consumption rate, Mo2 (i.e., during the period of specific dynamic action of food (SDA)), that occurs 24 h after feeding. We showed that this increase in the oxygen consumption rate 24 h after a meal is not limited by a blood partial pressure of oxygen (Po2) as low as 0.8-1.5 kPa in either normoxia or hypoxia (Po2 of the inspired water = 4 kPa). In normoxia, adaptation of the oxygen-transport system, if any, consisted of a combined set of adaptations of small amplitude (in absolute value), rather than major changes in blood oxygenation status, blood flow rate, or oxygen affinity (although blood pH decreases). In hypoxia, the SDA was mainly associated with an increase in blood flow rate and blood pH, with no changes in blood lactate, urate, calcium, and haemocyanin concentrations. The results are discussed, in an environmental context, in terms of minimal oxygen requirements in water-breathers.

Birds are known to be much more tolerant than mammals to high altitude [low oxygen pressure (PO2)], and it is therefore of interest to know the responses of their muscles to low oxygen. We studied the influence of hypoxia on the rate of blood flow, oxygen extraction, and oxygen consumption (VO2) in resting hindlimb muscle of ducks. We found that during normoxia the VO2 in this muscle mass was similar to resting mammalian red muscle. However, blood flow rate (45 ml x 100 g-1 x min-1) and venous PO2 (70 Torr) were much higher than in resting red or white mammalian muscle. Hypoxia down to 35-40 Torr resulted in no change in blood flow, but oxygen extraction increased dramatically as arterial PO2 fell below 70 Torr. The resting VO2 was maintained even at the lowest arterial oxygen content (5 ml/100 ml). From these experiments it appears as though duck skeletal muscle has a "luxuriant" resting blood flow rate that is sufficient to supply skeletal muscle with adequate oxygen.

Oxygen tension and content of intraovarian fluid were measured for the viviparous pile perch, Rhacochilus vacca, during middle and late gestation. Oxygen tension decreased with increasing demands of the brood, reaching a minimum of 13.7 mm Hg just prior to parturition. Total oxygen content of the ovarian fluid decreased to a minimum of 22 mg O2, rising thereafter to 54 mg O2 at parturition as the volume of ovarian fluid increased. The in vitro oxygen consumption of the young per unit weight increased 2.5 times during gestation reaching 222 mg O2/kg/hr at birth (mean weight 3.8 g).Oxygen consumption of two pregnant striped seaperch, Embiotoca lateralis, was fairly constant at 70 mg O2/kg/hr early in gestation, increasing later to approximately 107 mg O2/kg/hr at parturition.An oxygen dissociation curve was determined for ventricular blood of pregnant pile perch. The p50 was 12.5 mm Hg. Along with other parameters, this was used to estimate the oxygen transfer characteristics of the brood–ovary exchange system, maximum possible oxygen consumption, and ovarian blood flow rate. The capacity of the system to meet the increasing requirements of the young decreased during gestation, reaching limiting conditions at parturition. It was concluded that transfer of oxygen to the young would be controlled by, and ultimately limited by, ovarian blood flow rate. The brood–ovary system is compared with the mammalian placenta.

Microbial efficiency in a meromictic reservoirIndices of microbial efficiency (expressed as oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release) were determined in the water column of the meromictic Piaseczno Reservoir (in an opencast sulphur mine), which is rich in sulphur compounds. Phytoplankton abundances were low in both the mixolimnion (up to 15 m depth) and monimolimnion (below 15 m depth). In summer and winter, carbon dioxide release was 3-fold and 5-fold higher, respectively, in the monimolimnion than in the mixolimnion. Laboratory enrichments of the sulphur substrate of the water resulted in a decrease in oxygen consumption rate of by about 42% in mixolimnion samples, and in the carbon dioxide release rate by about 69% in monimolimnion samples. Water temperature, pH and bivalent ion contents were of major importance in shaping the microbial metabolic efficiency in the mixolimnion, whilst in the monimolimnion these relationships were not evident.
