Description: 
raw uncorrected oxygen consumption rate of the limpet. Originally derived by fitting a linear regression to the individual time points for which oxygen was measured in the chamber during the run; converted to umol O2. NOTE: negative values indicate oxygen consumption and lower numbers indicate faster consumption. The sign is reversed for the corrected rate in the following column.
