Respiration and metabolism of embryonic vertebrates Satellite Symposium of the 29th International Congress of Physiological Sciences, Sydney, Australia, 1983
The papers in this volume were presented at an international symposium, held in South Australia on September 8-10, 1983. The purpose of the meeting was to present the comparative physiology of gas exchange, water balance and energet ics of developing vertebrate embryos. contributions were invited f...
