Description:
The total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) and urea nitrogen excretion of the nemertean Procephalothrix simulus Iwata was determined under different conditions. Both of its ammonia and urea excretion rates increased with the elevation of water temperature, and the relationship between the TAN excretion rate and water temperature could be described by TAN (@mg N g^-^1 h^-^1)=20.510e^0^.^0^7^1^t (R^2=0.943, F=83.47, P
