The wide distribution of crustaceans from freshwater through brackish into marine waters
and from salt marshes to terrestrial zones shows the exceptional capacities of this animal …

High alkalinity stress was considered as a major risk factor for aquatic animals surviving in
saline-alkaline water. However, few information exists on the effects of alkalinity stress in …

We evaluate the effects of total ammonia nitrogen-N (TAN) exposure for 72 h on (Na+, K+)-
and V (H+)-ATPase activities and on their subunit expressions in gills of the diadromous …

The buildup of nitrogenous wastes in the water reflects biological processes potentially
stimulated by organic pollution. These wastes may cause physiological harm and even …

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

Background The life history stages of brachyuran crustaceans include pelagic larvae of the
Zoea type which grow by a series of moults from one instar to the next. Zoeae actively feed …

Abstract V-H+-ATPase and Na+/K+-ATPase were localized in the gills and branchiostegites
of M. amazonicum and the effects of salinity on the branchial chamber ultrastructure and on …

Osmoregulation is considered to be the principal mechanisms for survival and adaptation to
different environmental salinity conditions. The present study was conducted to assess …

In this comparative study, osmoregulatory mechanisms were analyzed in two closely related
species of palaemonid shrimp from Brazil, Macrobrachium pantanalense and …

High pH is one of the main stressors affecting the shrimp survival, growth, and physiology in
aquaculture ponds, but the cellular and molecular mechanism responsible for high pH stress …
