[Body mass and excretion of phosphorus in aqueous invertebrates].
Empirical materials on the dependence of the intensity of mineral phosphorus excretion (Ex) on the body mass (W) in invertebrates are summarized. The parameters of the average dependence of Ex on Win animals at 20 degrees C are determined. The main factors that influence the parameters ofthis dependence are discussed. It is shown that the decrease of Ex with an increase of Win animals is, as a rule, more significant compared with the decrease in the intensity of metabolism.
