## Abstract Both male and female blue crabs were shown to hyperosmoregulate efficiently at low salinities. The posterior gill pairs, particularly numbers six and seven, exhibited the highest specific activity of Na, KβATPase in crabs adapted to fullβstrength 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
