INTRODUCTIONThe atomic ratio of oxygen-consumed to ammonia-nitrogen excreted by marine organisms ... more INTRODUCTIONThe atomic ratio of oxygen-consumed to ammonia-nitrogen excreted by marine organisms (O:N ratio) is more conveniently and precisely determined with current analytical procedures than the respiratory quotient (R.Q.). When an organism is oxidizing protein exclusively the O: N ratio will be low, less than 7; it will be high when either fat or carbohydrate is oxidized.
