Abstract

Among the macrobenthos fauna of the Western Baltic Sea, lamellibranchs occurring in poorly oxygenated soft sediments exhibit especially high tolerances to temporary oxygen deficiency. Such tolerance is less well developed in mobile species of various systematic groups than in more or less immobile forms. Commonly, tolerance to oxygen deficiency tends to increase with decreasing temperature. Different qualitative relations between tolerance to oxygen deficiency and temperature may be correlated with the distributional range of the species.

Zusammenfassung

  1. 1.

    Unter den marinen Makrobenthosarten der Westlichen Ostsee weisen einige Lamellibranchier, die hier auf sauerstoffarmen Weichböden vorkommen, eine besonders große Überlebensfähigkeit bei Fehlen von Sauerstoff auf.

  2. 2.

    Die O2-Mangelresistenz ist bei den agilen Vertretern aus dieser und aus anderen systematischen Gruppen von entsprechenden standorten geringer als bei den mehr oder weniger ständig sessilen Arten.

  3. 3.

    Allgemein besteht die Tendenz, daß die O2-Mangelresistenz innerhalb des ökologischen Bereichs bei sinkender Außentemperatur größer wird. Die unterschiedlich starke Abhängigkeit dieser Resistenz von der Temperatur hängt mit der geographischen Verbreitung der Formen zusammen.
