## 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 time course of induction of activity of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and Na/K ATPase, two enzymes that are central to osmotic and ionic regulation in the eyryhaline green crab, __Carcinus maenas__, was measured in response to a transfer from 32 to 10 ppt salinity. CA activity was low in
