✦ Synopsis

Although Na+ +K+-dependent ATPase, the enzymatic equivalent of the sodium pump, is thought to be restricted to the basolateral membrane of nearly all ion-transporting epithelial cells, its absence from basolateral membranes of crustacean epithelia andlor its presence in apical membranes have been suggested by evidence from other laboratories. However, ultracytochemical localization of K +-dependent, ouabain-sensitive p-nitrophenylphosphatase (p-NPPase), using the method of Mayahara et al. ('80), indicated that Na+ + K + -ATPase resides predominantly in the basolateral membrane of thick epithelial cells from gill lamellae of two euryhaline crabs, Callinectes supidus and Carcinus maenas. Crab gill is therefore not unique in its Na+ +K+--ATPase distribution and may be used as a model for experiments designed to investigate mechanisms of transepithelial Naf uptake.

The posterior gill pairs, particularly numbers six and seven, exhibited the highest specific activity of Na, K‐ATPase in crabs adapted to full‐strength seawater. When the crabs were acclimated

Juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, extensively utilize oligohaline and freshwater regions of the estuary. With a presumptively larger surface-area-to-body weight ratio, juvenile crabs could experience osmo-and ionoregulatory costs well in excess of that of adults. To test this hypothesis, cra
