1. The oxygen consumption of four species of inshore gastropods from Signy Island, Antarctica was measured at −1.7 and +0.5°C in seawater. The limpet Nacella concinna (Strebel) showed a decrease in oxygen consumption with settlement in the respirometers, but a Trophon species showed no such settleme...
