Document Summary
Effect of acclimation temperature on oxygen consumption in. Mean oxygen consumption levels were collected for a total of 34 wild-caught crayfish, orconectes propinquus, acclimated to either a warm (20 to 25 c) or cold (3 to. The mean mass of the crayfish was 8. 250 1. 054 g and the mean temperature was 21. 800 0. 154 c. The crayfish in the cold treatment had a mean oxygen consumption rate of 6. 690 0. 580. G/minxg for the 0 to 30 minute time interval and a mean of 6. 18 0. 388 g/minxg for the 30 to 60 minute time interval. The mean mass of the crayfish was 10. 610 0. 770 g and the mean temperature was 6. 500 0. 268 c. This value indicates that with a 10 c increase in temperature, the crayfish exhibits approximately no increase in the rate of oxygen consumption. This suggests that the crayfish showed a compensation response. i g x n m g n o i t p m u s n o.
