	note = {@ 1. T.D. IS STENOHALINE IN NATURE BUT TOLERATES A WIDE RANGE OF SALINITIES IN THE LAB. 168-639 mM CL-, OR 30-114\% SEA WATER. LONG-TERM SURVIVAL PROBABLY DOES NOT OCCUR BELOW ABOUT 50\% CH2O. 2. T.D. IS A PASSIVE OSMOCONFORMER OVER THIS ENTIRE SALINITY RANGE, BUT HAS AN APPARENT ION DEFICIT IN THE COELOMIC FLUID, AS INDICATED BY LOW INTERNAL CL CONCENTRATIONS RELATIVE TO EXT. LEVELS. THIS APPARENT ION DEFICIT IS MOST MARKED IN WORMS IN LOW SALINITIES, AND MAY BE MADE UP BY SMALL MOLECULAR WEIGHT ORGANIC MOLECULES. 3. WATER CONTENT DEPENDS ON SALINITY \& WORMS TAKE UP LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER OSMOTICALLY AFTER PUT IN LO SAL. VOLUME CONTROL POSSIBLE IF DIFFERENTIAL NOT EXCESSIVE. 4. NEPH CONT SIMILAR TO COELOMIC. 5. LIMITED DATA ON P.AG. IN 84\% CH2O SUGGESTS COELOMIC FL SLIGHTLY HYPEROSMOTIC TO THE MEDIUM, BUT ISO-IONIC WITH RESPECT TO CHLORIDE.},
