Title:	The effect of hypoxia and anoxia on osmotic concentrations of Corophium volutator (Pallas) from the Gulf of Gdańsk
Authors:	Szaniawska Anna Dobrzycka-Krahel Aldona
Abstract:	The aim of the investigations was to determine the effect of hypoxia and anoxia on the osmoregulation of Corophium volutator. The experiments were performed at salinities of 3.0, 6.6, 15.0, and 25.0 PSU in conditions of hypoxia (saturation = 30% O₂) and anoxia at a constant temperature of 10°C. Control experiments in aerated water were conducted simultaneously. Hypoxia (saturation = 30% O₂) had no statistically significant effect on the osmoregulation of C. volutator after either 6 h or 48 h. However, after 6 h it did lower the osmotic concentration slightly. After 6 h anoxia had no effect on osmoregulation, but no subsequent effects of this factor (after 24 and 48 h) were detectable due to high animal mortality. Anoxia also had no effect on osmoregulation after 24 h at salinities of 15.0 and 25.0 PSU or 48 h at 15.0 PSU.
