HISTOLOGY AND METABOLISM OF FROZEN INTERTIDAL ANIMALS

JOHN KANWISHER 1

1 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts

1. Histology of frozen shore animals has shown large pockets of intercellular ice with consequent shrinkage and distortion of the surrounding cells.

2. The Q10 drops precipitously in the region of ice formation and may be as high as 50.

3. High tissue salinity without freezing decreases oxygen uptake. Thus the salinity increase that results from freezing is responsible for a large part of the high Q10.
