| Abstract: | P.Bermudensis shows hyperosmotic body fluid concentrations in lower salinities (15% and below), and more or less isosmotic concentrations in higher salinities (15% and above). Body fluid concentrations of P. Bermudensis are higher in the terrestrial oligochaete species indicating its brackish water inhabitance at the local harbour. The trend of hyperosmotic regulation in P. Bermudensis is similar to the reported pattern in several brackish water and estuarine polychaete annelid worms. |
