Abstract

It has been shown that slight sinusoidal fluctuations of temperature, salinity, and oxygen concentration optimize the growth and energy metabolism of the crustaceanLeander modestus, mollusks Pila sp., and hydrophyte Elodea canadensis. Under the effect of temperature fluctuations, the growth of E. canadensis accelerates, and the rate of photosynthesis increases.
