Salinity is an ecological key factor in the life of estuarine and coastal plankton, and hence,
also in the biology of meroplanktonic decapod crustacean larvae. Its influence has been …

To evaluate trends in the osmoregulatory behavior of neotropical, palaemonid shrimps, we
investigated osmotic and ionic regulatory patterns in five species of Palaemon or …

We evaluate osmotic and chloride (Cl–) regulatory capability in the diadromous shrimp
Macrobrachium amazonicum, and the accompanying alterations in hemolymph osmolality …

To elucidate the osmoregulatory mechanisms underpinning the invasion of fresh water by
the palaemonid Crustacea, we investigate the contribution of free amino acids (FAA) to …

Ontogenetic changes in osmoregulation were compared between two geographically
separate populations of a South American shrimp, Macrobrachium amazonicum, originating …

To investigate the feeding habit of Macrobrachium amazonicum, three experiments were
carried out assessing the stage at which larvae start exogenous feeding, the acceptance of …

The tropical crab Armases miersii breeds in supratidal rock pools, where great salinity
variations occur. In laboratory experiments, all larval stages (zoea I–III, megalopa) and the …
