Data are provided to demonstrate how oxygen uptake rates in tubificid worms can be correlated with behavior to identify chronic levels of toxicity. When flow rate to the treatment replicates' respiratory chambers was dropped from 1.71 to 0.65 ml min-1, the respiration rates decreased significantly from 0.31 to 0.17 mg O2g-1h-1 respectively. Concommitantly, the treatments initially mobilized compensatory ventilation measures but subsequently exhibited avoidance behavior. The controls continued to remain dispersed and unagitated.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0043-1354doi: DOI: 10.1016/0043-1354(88)90088-7</style></notes></record></records></xml>
