Notes

In the temperature range of 10 to 35 degrees C the relationships of the oxygen consumption and nitrogen excretion rates to temperature in Brachionus calyciflorus Pallas can be described by an exponential function where Q10 is equal to 2.45 or 2.18, respectively. Temperature adaptation within the range studied resulted in stabilization of relative protein metabolism which accounted for nearly 50% of the total metabolic loss.
