This proposal requests funds to obtain a calorimeter system                     which will allow the investigators to study metabolic rates and                 the partitioning of those rates between aerobic and anaerobic                   components.  The instrumentation requested will support at least                five major projects.  (1) Metabolic studies of marine                           invertebrates exposed to environmental changes in oxygen content                (2) metabolic studies of marine organisms which are widely                      tolerant of oxygen variation and others which are intolerant of                 oxygen (species dwelling in oxygen-poor sediments) (3) the                      effects of toxic metabolites on mineralization processes in                     marine sediments (4) metabolism by larval invertebrates during                  embryonic development (5) anaerobic metabolism in genetically                   different strains of embryonic fish.  The instrumentation will                  permit studies not feasible by other methods.
