| Our current understanding of meiofaunal respiration rates, and especially of the way they are influenced by changing abiotic factors, is still far from complete. Meiofaunal respiration is traditionally measured using Cartesian divers or related manometric techniques, but these are extremely time-consuming and labour-consuming. We have evaluated the use of Strathkelvin polarographic electrode model 1302 and the O<sub>2</sub> monitor model 781 in determining the O<sub>2</sub> consumption of meiofaunal animals. Respiration rates obtained in this way of the terrestrial nematode <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> compared well with results obtained from Cartesian diver respirometry. Experiments with 3 estuarine nematode species... |
