## 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, K‐ATPase in crabs adapted to full‐strength seawater. When the crabs were acclimated
## Abstract The kinetic properties of a microsomal gill (Na^+^, K^+^) ATPase from the blue crab, __Callinectes danae__, acclimated to 15 ‰ salinity for 10 days, were analyzed using the substrate p‐nitrophenylphosphate. The (Na^+^, K^+^)‐ATPase hydrolyzed the substrate obeying Michaelian kinetics at
