The sodium pump, or Na++ K+-ATPase, provides at least part of the driving force for
transepithelial movement of monovalent ions across the gills and other transporting tissues …

In recent years, the production of economically important crustaceans, and decapods in
inland saline areas has increased considerably. The osmoregulatory capacity of these …

Three sets of experiments were conducted to determine the short-and long-term effects of
salinity (3, 25, and 48 ppt) on the post-larval (PL), nursery, and grow-out phases of Penaeus …

Changes in free amino acids (FAA) in the hemolymph of the giant freshwater prawn,
Macrobrachium rosenbergii, were examined in individuals exposed to varying salinities for …

Salinity is one of the most common environmental stress factors, which has a substantial
influence on the growth, metabolism, and distribution of crustaceans, while transport of ions …

Na/K-ATPase activity and osmo-ionic regulation were examined in Litopenaeus vannamei
exposed to low salinities. The hemolymph osmolality of shrimp exposed to very low salinities …

Crustaceans inhabit diverse biotopes, often subject to alterations that constitute a severe
challenge to their homeostatic mechanisms. These challenges have driven the evolution of …

To better comprehend physiological adaptation to dilute media and the molecular
mechanisms underlying ammonia excretion in palaemonid shrimps, we characterized the …

Aeglidae anomuran crabs originated in the sea, but invaded and diversified in southern
South American freshwater (FW) streams. We here aimed at examining their tolerance of …

Diadromous freshwater shrimps are exposed to brackish water both as an obligatory part of
their larval life cycle and during adult reproductive migration; their well-developed …
