Studies on the respiration of the polychaete Ophelia bicornis

Production, respiration and ammonia excretion of two polychaete species in a north Norfolk saltmarsh

“…Oxygen consumption and weight of individuals, as expected, are inversely correlated. Small animals for both species consume oxygen at a faster rate per weight unit than larger animals do, as demonstrated by other authors (Sander, 1973;Beis et al, 1980). According to Barnes et al (1993) (0.76; Beis et al, 1980), Chaetopterus variopedatus (0.59; Riisgard, 1989).…”

Oxygen Consumption and Ammonia Excretion of Marphysa sanguinea (Polychaeta: Eunicidae) in Relation to Body Mass and Temperature

“…We also analyzed the temperature inflection points of other polychaetes and found the oxygen consumption rate inflection points of P. aibuhitensis [24] and N. japonica [23] at 27 °C. However, Ophelia bicornis has no inflection point at 5 to 35 °C [42]. This result may be due to differences among species or domestication time, and the experimental temperature did not exceed the tolerance temperature of the animals.…”

The effect of temperature on growth and energy budget of the polychaete, Neanthes japonica Izuka

“…found a turning point at 27℃ for another polychaete Perinereis aibuhitensis. However, no turning point was found in the polychaete Ophelia bicornis from 5℃ to 35℃ (Beis et al, 1980). Sander (1973) reported a riseand-fall pattern in respiration of two polychetes when temperature changed.…”

“…Respiration and nitrogen excretion have been investigated for some polychaetes (Sander, 1973;Haberfield et al, 1975;Shumway, 1979;Beis et al, 1980;Wells et al, 1980;Shumway et al, 1988;Nithart et al, 1999). However, few studies have reported the relationship between growth and temperature and to the present authors' knowledge, no work has been published on the total energy budget of any polychaete.…”
