Abstract
The rate of oxygen consumption by Perna viridis pre-exposed to copper and zinc
was studied. Those test individuals pre-exposed to various zinc concentrations
showed variability in oxygen consumption irrespective of concentrations and preexposure
period. While those animals pre-exposed to various copper concentrations
registered decrease in oxygen consumption at concentrations above 0.06 p.p.m.
copper, pre-exposure to concentrations below 0.02 p.p.m. copper did not result in
any clear cut change in the rate of oxygen consumption.
