Chloride regulation at low salinities by Nereis diversicolor (Annelida, Polychaeta). I. Uptake and exchanges of chloride.
The ability of the common brackish water polychaete worm Nereis diversicolor O. F. Miiller to regulate osmotically and ionically has been well established (Schlieper, 1929; Beadle, 1937; Smith, 1955; Hohendorf, 1963; Oglesby, 1970; and others). Jergensen & Dales (1957) demonstrated an uptake of chloride against the concentration gradient at low salinities, with a maximum rate of exchange under ...
متن کاملChloride regulation at low salinities by Nereis diversicolor (Annelida, Polychaeta). II. Water fluxes and apparent permeability to water.
Evaluation of the chloride exchanges of Nereis diversicolor in the steady state has shown that this worm 'cuts its losses', i.e. reduces the fluxes, of chloride at very low salinities (Smith, 1970a), and that this reduction of chloride loss takes place mainly in the urinary component of the efflux, as has also been suggested by previous authors. Jorgensen & Dales (1957) measured the rates of os...
متن کاملFeeding Ecology of Nereis diversicolor (O.F. Müller) (Annelida, Polychaeta) on Estuarine and Lagoon Environments in the Southwest Coast of Portugal
The feeding ecology of Nereis diversicolor (O. F. Müller, 1776) (Annelida: Polychaeta) was studied over 14 months at three estuarine-lagoon systems of the Southwest coast of Portugal (Odeceixe, Aljezur and Carrapateira). The analyses of digestive tract revealed that diet change according to site, period of the year and individual sizes. There are no differences in the digestive contents between...
متن کاملHypo-osmotic urine in Nereis diversicolor.
Although Beadle a9 early as 1937 suggested that the urine of Nereis diversicolor O. F. Miiller might be of lower concentration than the body fluids when this worm is hyperregulating in low salinities, there has been no direct measurement of urine concentration to support this reasonable idea. Jorgensen & Dales (1957) studied osmotic water uptake and loss in N. diversicolor and calculated that t...
متن کامل(Corophium vol utator, Macoma balthica, Nereis diversicolor)
Acute toxicity of hexavalent chromium to 3 estuarine ammals (Corophium volutator, Macoma balthica, Nereis diversicolor) has been studied at 3 temperatures (5, 10, 15 'C) and a range of salinities (5 to 40 %o, in 5 %O increments), at time intervals of up to 384 h. Toxicity increased as temperature increased and as salinity decreased. From an analysis of variance, the significant factors and thei...
