| Abstract |
|
The influences of temperature and water on the ability of turtle embryos to tolerate hypoxia were investigated by measuring critical oxygen tension at different levels of temperature (22, 27, and 32°C) and hydric conditions (3 and 13% gravimetric water content). Eggs were half-buried in sand with 3 or 13% gravimetric water content and incubated at a constant 30°C. Using a closed metabolic chamber, oxygen consumption, equation imagemath image, was measured at decreasing oxygen tensions.
