Document Summary

Effect of acclimation temperature on oxygen consumption in orconectes propinquus. Consumption between 0-60 minutes of warm acclimated crayfish (cid:4666)(cid:886). (cid:882)(cid:888) (cid:883). (cid:882)(cid:883) (cid:2870)(cid:1865)(cid:1866) (cid:2869) (cid:2869)(cid:4667) was not significantly different from cold acclimated crayfish (cid:4666)(cid:885). (cid:891)(cid:890) (cid:882). (cid:891)(cid:891) (cid:2870)(cid:1865)(cid:1866) (cid:2869) (cid:2869) (cid:4667) according to unpaired t-test, (cid:2869)46=(cid:882). (cid:887)(cid:882)(cid:888),=(cid:882). (cid:888)(cid:883)(cid:886) (figure 1). Figure 1: effect of oxygen consumption in orconectes propinquus between warm (20oc) and cold (10oc) acclimated temperatures (n=37). Orconectes propinquus acclimated in warm and cold temperatures showed no difference in oxygen consumption thus, supporting the hypothesis. Crayfish are able to their change their internal physiology as their external environment changes. Their metabolic rates can be altered by compensation. Value of q10 equalling anywhere between 1-2 represents partial compensation, a value of 2 represents no compensation and a value of 1 means full compensation. The results suggest there was full compensation with a q10 value of 1. 02.
