Abstract: |
- 1.1. There is a significant correlation between Qo2 and body N in the adult stage of G. adunca within a definite age group.
- 2.2. The Qo2 decreases as the size, determined by total N, increases during the life cycle of G. adunca.
- 3.3. Interspecific studies on five species of cercariae show that there is a significant correlation between body N and oxygen uptake.
