Popis: The oxygen uptake of Mytilus californianus between 12 and 24° C. varies greatly with different samples, from approximately 0.3 to 2.0 cc. per 10 gms. of wet weight.. Similar values are found for the carbon dioxide production. Respiratory quotients as high as 2.2 were found; they are explained by the buffering action of the shell. Toxic mussels do not differ from normal ones in their gas metabolism.
