147. 02 CONSUMPTION: INVERTEBRATES 



Like our other tables covering oxygen consumption, this one should be used with utmost caution and circumspection. 

 The figures reflect order of magnitude: often a value may not prove accurate for a particular requirement. The 

 table, however, does have special utility as an annotated bibliography. Values, unless otherwise specified, are 

 cubic millimeters oxygen per gram fresh weight per hour for adult animals.
