Respiratory oxygen consumption and respiratory electron transport activity were measured for 15 species and several mixed populations of marine zooplankton. A high correlation ( r > 0.97) was found that was only weakly affected by size of the animals and temperature. Regression equations are given for the calculation of respiration from electron transport activity.
