Abstract
A seasonal cycle in the osmotic concentration of the blood of some amphipods, isopods and decapods has been reported by Widmann and Otto. Both these authors observed a higher value for blood in winter than in summer; the animals examined included marine, freshwater and air-breathing species. In Eriocheir, Otto was able to correlate these changes directly with the temperature of the external medium. Krogh, reviewing the subject, mentions that the ecological significance of these facts is unknown.
