Oxygen consumption of the copepod Apocyclops dengizicus from a pool at Garmat-Ali.

Abstract

The oxygen consumption of the copepod Apocyclops dengezicus was estimated by a modified Winkler method at three temperatures; 15, 25 and 30 °C. There was no apparent relation between oxygen consumption and temperature (0.86, 0.69 and 1.48 mg O/ind./day, respectively). This was also the case for the metabolism. The Q10 values were 0.80 and 4.29 at 15 - 25 and 25- 30 °C, respectively.
