Abstract
Contractile and metabolic activities of the isolated heart of Panulirus japonicus were recorded while thermal and hormonal stimuli were applied for 3–6 min. The heart beat was often augmented in amplitude with a fall in temperature from 20° to 17–15°C. With the augmented beat, a decrease of pO2 in the ventricle indicated an increase in oxygen consumption rate of the heart. When serotonin (0.1 µKeywords: oxygen electrode, spiny lobster.
