摘要
Respiratory and pumping rates in the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria were measured directly in running seawater; the quantity of oxygen used was calculated from the difference, in concentrations in incurrent and excurrent water. A linear relationship between pumping and respiratory rates suggests regulation of water transport by oxygen requirement rather than by feeding.
