Isolated posterior gills of shore crabs, Carcinus maenas, collected from the Baltic Sea, were perfused and bathed with sea water and solutions of alkali chlorides. The preparation was used to measure fluxes of sodium from the external medium across the gills into the hemolymph and to determine trans
## Abstract Apparent exchange of base with the external water was measured in crabs under various experimental conditions where compensation of blood respiratory acidβbase disturbances is known to occur. Crabs reimmersed after a long emersion time, or returned to normal conditions after hyperoxic o
Mechanical aspects of predation by the shore crab, Carcinus maenas, on the edible mussel, Mytilus edulis, were examined. The shore crabs from the population studied utilized five distinct, largely size-related, mussel-opening techniques. Crushing the mussel umbone appeared the most successful openin
