Ventilation and oxygen consumption in the hagfish, Myxine glutinosa L.
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
- Ventilation was measured directly in the hagfish, Myxine glutinosa L., by means of an electro-magnetic blood flowmeter. Ventilatory flow and frequency increased from 0.86 ± 0.27 mlmin-, and 18.2 ± 5.1min-, respectively, at 7°C to 1.70 ± 0.20 mlmin-, and 70.1 ± 9.5min- at 15 C.
- Standard oxygen consumption,V¿O2, was measured in non-buried hagfish. V¿O2 was 0.57 ± 0.17µl O2g-1min-1 at 7°C, and 0.85 ± 0.12µl O2g-1min-1 at 15°C.
