A control system is described which allows the automatic recording of the oxygen consumption of five aquatic organisms and one control. The electronic valve controller operates six three-way valves which permit water from each of the six respiration chambers to flow successively past the oxygen sensor. A 38.4 kHz quartz cristal oscillator ensures a ten minute period and is not affected by disturbances on the power circuit.
