## Abstract Carbonic anhydrase (CA) induction in the gills of the euryhaline blue crab, __Callinectes sapidus__, was measured in response to lowered environmental salinity. Simultaneous measurements of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity were made in gills and nonbranchial tissues to determine w
## Abstract The output of ammonia increases in dilute waters in which blue crabs absorb Na^+^ against a gradient, but not those in which crabs remain in salt balance with the medium. Net acid output does not clearly vary with salinity. The balance between ammonia and urea output shifts towards ammo
