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.

该提案要求获得一种热量计系统的资金，该系统将允许研究人员研究代谢率以及这些代谢率在有氧和无氧组分之间的分配。所要求的仪器将支持至少五个主要项目。(1)受环境氧含量变化影响的海洋无脊椎动物的代谢研究(2)广泛耐受氧变化和其他不耐受氧的海洋生物（生活在贫氧沉积物中的物种）的代谢研究(3)有毒代谢物对海洋沉积物矿化过程的影响(4)幼虫的代谢胚胎发育期间的无脊椎动物(5)基因不同菌株的胚胎鱼的厌氧代谢。该仪器将允许用其他方法无法进行的研究。
