Respiration and the activity of the respiratory electron transport system in marine zooplankton1

Frederick D. King, Theodore T. Packard

Abstract

Respiratory oxygen consumption and respiratory electron transport activity were measured for 15 species and several mixed populations of marine zooplankton. A high correlation ( r > 0.97) was found that was only weakly affected by size of the animals and temperature. Regression equations are given for the calculation of respiration from electron transport activity.
