Bit of a long shot.

Anyone done a biology degree or similar and worked with Asellus Aquaticus (Or a similar species) in relation to oxygen consumption in various envirnomental conditions i.e. temperature, heavy metal presence.

Bit of a funny question I know, but you never know whos around :)
 
Umm, quite a long shot yeah haha. Never done anything specifically with that but I'm quite interested now!

/me google

Pick something more interesting next time?! I was somewhat disappointed when I discovered it wasn't a bacteria... sounded familiar somehow. :cool:

Yes, I am avoiding writing my dissertation THAT MUCH.
 
Ok hit a problem and instead of starting a new thread I'll stick it here.

On microsoft word when I try to insert text behind previously written stuff its replacing it instead of pushing it along the line. I've had this before and can't remember how I fixed it. =/
 
Ok how about these; In their natural environment oxygen consumption over 20mins increases til about 30C then drops.

Acclimated to 20-25C oxygen consumption goes up gradualy (I only went to 35C) but I'm guessing that the acclimated to 25C would go up slightly higher than the 20C then drops back down. (CTMax of the asellus is about 39C). How long would you expect it to go before it drops is the bit thats confusing me I've read papers that acclimation can increase the CTMax therefore they wont die at the higher temps but last week I check one at 40C and it died (Although that had been acclimated at 20C in various concentrations on copper)
