Respiration rates in the Antarctic amphipods Waldeckia obesa (Chevreux 1905) and Bovallia gigantea (Pfeffer 1888) were measured in relation to the presence or absence of a substratum to attach to, and the amount of time spent in a respirometer. During the first 4 h after placing animals in respirome...
