## Abstract To better comprehend the structural and biochemical underpinnings of ion uptake across the gills of true freshwater crabs, we performed an ultrastructural, ultracytochemical and morphometric investigation, and kinetically characterized the Na^+^,K^+^‐ATPase, in posterior gill lamellae o
