the oxidation of NADH was adapted in order to characterize enzymatic activity in gills and
examine the effects of changing salinity in Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Maximum inhibition
by ouabain occurred at a concentration of 1.4 mM, and the Km of the reaction was 0.2 mM. In
a first experiment, animals were acclimated to freshwater, 1/3 seawater, 2/3 seawater and
full seawater for up to 1 week. Na/K-ATPase activity in front gills was 1.62±0.19 μmol …
