[Age-related changes in oxygen consumption in the common mussel Mytilus edulis from the White Sea].
We determined the rate of oxygen consumption in the White Sea mussel Mytilus edulis of different ages. The rate of oxygen consumption proved to decrease with mussel age according to the equation: qO2 = 40.1/(1 - e(-0.194t)), where qO2 is respiration rate and t is age. Allometric coefficients of the oxygen consumption rate-soft tissue weight relationship were also determined.
