Abstract: | We determined the rate of oxygen consumption in the White Sea edible mussel Mytilus edulis of different ages. The mass-specific rate of oxygen consumption proved to decrease with mussel age according to the equation:
= 40.1/(1 – e
–0.194t
), where
is mass-specific rate of oxygen consumption and t is age. Allometric coefficients of the oxygen consumption rate–soft tissue weight relationship were also determined. |
