Hemolymph acid-base variables were investigated in the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, to determine its responses to air exposure and to infections by the parasite Perkinsus marinus. Infected and uninfected oysters were subjected to two treatments of temperature (21 [degrees] and 30 [degrees] C) and air exposure (5 and 24 h). Upon exposure to air, oysters underwent a respiratory acidosis that remained uncompensated in uninfected oysters but was partially compensated in highly infected ...
