Introduction

The importance of temperature in limiting the distribution of marine invertebrates by its effects on breeding and survival has been shown by Orton (1920) and Hutchins (1947). Prosser (1955) recognized the use of physiological variation in describing interspecific relations, intraspecific variation and the limits of ecological range. The effects of temperature on marine organisms have been reviewed by Kinne (1963). Temperature responses are to a certain extent genetically fixed and species characteristic, although it is well known that many species can adjust these responses with changing temperatures.
