该提案要求提供资金，以获得热量计系统 这将使研究人员能够研究代谢率， 有氧和无氧之间的速率分配 件. 所要求的仪器将至少支持 五大工程。 (1)海洋生物的代谢研究 无脊椎动物暴露于环境中的氧含量变化 (2)海洋生物的代谢研究， 耐受氧气变化和其他不耐受 氧（贫氧沉积物中的物种）（3） 有毒代谢物对矿化过程的影响 海洋沉积物（4）无脊椎动物幼虫在 胚胎发育（5）遗传上的无氧代谢 不同品种的胚胎鱼。 仪器将 允许用其他方法不可行的研究。

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.
