1941Experimental investigations on the respiration and diving of the Florida manatee.
Jour. Cell. Comp. Physiol. 17(2): 169-191. 2 tabs. 15 figs. April 1941.
—Study of breathing frequency, heart rate, respiratory dimensions, gas exchange, and blood chemistry and oxygen capacity of manatees during forced dives. The observed results included a slowly developing bradycardia during diving, very low resting oxygen consumption, low sensitivity to carbon dioxide, no increase of blood lactic acid until completion of the dive, and hence a very complete isolation of the muscles from the general circulation during the dive.
