Two euryhaline species of decapod crustaceans, Carcinus maenas and Callinectes sapidus, were subjected to a series of acute low-salinity challenges, and changes in carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in the gills were monitored in order to characterize the nature of salinitysensitive CA induction. CA a

## Abstract Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity was measured in the gills, branchiostegite, and cuticle of 5 species of decapod crustaceans displaying fully aquatic, semiβterrestrial, and fully terrestrial lifestyles. Densityβgradient and differential ultracentrifugation were used to separate 2 subcel
## Abstract A sensitive pHβstat assay was used to determine the distribution in aquatic and terrestrial decapod crustaceans, correlation to osmoregulation, and selected kinetic properties of carbonic anhydrase. In all species the enzyme was concentrated in the gills, and specifically the posterior
The relationship between branchial carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity, CA gene expression and salinity, and potential mechanisms of regulation, was investigated in the euryhaline green crab, Carcinus maenas, acclimated to 33 ppt and transferred to 10 ppt, and the stenohaline rock crab, Cancer irroratu
