pH at which the pH-dependent release of oxygen by haemocyanin becomes maximal. Comparison between the Antarctic Pareledone charcoti, the South-east Australian Octopus pallidus and the Mediterranean Eledone moschata at an experimental temperature of 10°C. Calculations include pH oxygen-saturation curves from all analysed PO2. Letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) between species. Data from different PO2 were pooled due to similar effects by PO2 among species.
