Effect of <i>Cothurnia variabilis</i> and <i>Epistylis gammari</i> (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) on Metabolic Rate of the Crayfish <i>Cambarellus</i> (<i>Cambarellus</i>) <i>montezumae</i>

Peritrichs usually settle on the external surface and gills of crustaceans. However, their physiological effect on the host has not been studied. Respiratory rate is a susceptible index for some factors that affect an organism. To test if ciliates attached to the crustacean gills have a physiologica...
