Fig. 6. (A) Individual responses (N=11) in appendage beating rate
(fA; solid and broken lines) to decreasing ambient oxygen
tensions at high food concentration (105 algal cells
ml-1). The profiles were shifted vertically for clarity. Eight of
11 animals showed a hyperventilatory response (solid lines). The dotted lines
indicate the two reference points, the initial normoxic level at 21 kPa and
the hypoxic level of 3 kPa, which were used to assess the hypoxia-induced
changes in fA. (B) Magnitude of hypoxia-induced changes in
fA in relation to the initial fA
prevailing before the start of the hypoxic exposure. The dotted line
demarcates positive (open circles) from negative responses (filled
circles).
