We have observed 19 Virgo cluster spiral galaxies with the Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) onboard ESAs Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) obtaining spectra around the [C II] 157.741 μm fine structure line. These 19 galaxies are relatively quiescent in star forming activity compared to previous studies from airborne observatories. Fifteen of the nineteen galaxies were detected in the [C II] line. Any influence of the Virgo cluster environment on the [C II] emission was found to be small compared with the strong dependence of the line emission on basic measurables such as morphology. These relatively quiescent galaxies exhibit a smaller range of [CII] to FIR ratios compared to other galaxy surveys, yet there is a good correlation between the strength of the [C II] line and the far-infrared flux, as measured by IRAS.
