Abstract
Measurements of respiratory rates of two species of zooplankton were made under varying degrees of confinement simulating conditions imposed on the organisms by varying population densities and in experimental techniques for respiration measurement. It was found that when Daphnia is confined to a small space its respiratory rate is much increased, but that Calanus does not seem to have the same response to confinement.
