Nutrient Transport Across the Integument of Marine Invertebrates

  • Chapter
Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology

Part of the book series: Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology ((COMPARATIVE,volume 2))

Abstract

Since the turn of this century there has been recurrent interest in the ability of aquatic organisms to make direct nutritional use of dissolved organic material (DOM). Upon examination, it is a particularly compelling idea, i.e., routine exposure of an animal’s integument to its surroundings results in an accumulation of exogenous material to support nutritional and/or other physiological needs. Indeed, some animals, for example, pogonophorans, and others lacking a gut, would seem dependent on integumental uptake. In fact, all animals should (it would seem) benefit from such a capacity. Evidence to support this contention, however, has only recently been generally accepted. We are currently in a period of renewed interest in integumental transport of DOM, stemming from studies using several new technical innovations and experimental systems. It is increasingly apparent that the integument of marine invertebrates not only serves as an effective barrier that protects the animal from intrusion of the sea, but also permits the regulated exchange of organic materials between organism and environment. Furthermore, it is now clear that this exchange can play a significant role in animal nutrition.
