The metabolism levels at each temperature are estimated according to the parameters of the equations expressing the relation of the Respiration rate to body mass. The results obtained are compared with the data from literature. A highly close dependence between the Respiration rate of the animals and habitat temperature is established, which is approximated by the Arrhenius function. It is shown that there is no differences in the metabolism levels of Coelenterata and other species of aquatic invertebrates when comparing the parameters calculated per mass of dry ash-free substance.ru
