Title Factors affecting fluid losses in the Oyster. Crassostrea cucullata
 
Creator Mane, U. H.

Description 246-249
In shucked oysters in which the shells were removed with no injury to mantle and pericardium lost fluids and body weight (58.7% of the original) while those with injury to the mantle and pericardium lost 66.27% original body weight. In both the cases most of this fluid loss took place within 15 min after shucking. It was observed that the oysters must be free to open and close their shells for weight and volume regulation. Oysters, prevented completely from opening and closing their shells, lost weight both in and out of water due to the secretion of body fluids. Oysters were found to have a limited ability to osmoregulate and showed no weight regulation when subjected to various dilutions of sea water.
