Abstract
The relation between temperature and rate of passage of pieces of Arenicola marina through the gut of Pleuronectes platessa was investigated by an X‐ray method, using barium sulphate as a contrast medium. Time in hours taken for stomach evacuation and travel of gut contents to the rectum plotted against temperature gave negative exponential curves. Plotted logarithmically the relationships were linear.Keywords
