本文研究了在光照或黑暗条件下，有或无叶绿体来源松藻（Codium fragile）培养的Elysia viridis8周内体重、叶绿素含量和光合能力的变化。结果表明，光合作用在动物的营养中具有重要意义。在黑暗中挨饿的动物比在光明中挨饿的动物体重减轻得更快。光合作用的速率是正确的顺序来解释这些重量上的差异。这种动物似乎有一年的生命周期，这是分析在一年中不同时间收集的动物进行的长期实验结果的重要考虑因素。
Experiments were carried out on the changes in weight, chlorophyll content and photo-synthetic capacity ofElysia viridisover periods of up to 8 weeks when incubated in light or dark, with and without its source of chloroplasts, the seaweedCodium fragile.It was concluded that photosynthesis is of considerable importance in the nutrition of the animal. Animals starved in the dark lost weight much more rapidly than those starved in the light. Rates of photosynthesis are of the right order to account for these differences in weight. The animal seems to have an annual life-cycle, an important consideration in analysing the results of long term experiments carried out on animals collected at different times of the year.
