## Abstract Carbonic anhydrase (CA) induction in the gills of the euryhaline blue crab, __Callinectes sapidus__, was measured in response to lowered environmental salinity. Simultaneous measurements of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity were made in gills and nonbranchial tissues to determine w

## Abstract Carbonic anhydrase (CA) distribution and characterization were examined in white and light pink fibers of the dorsal levator muscle of the blue crab. White fibers were structurally and metabolically characterized as fast twitch glycolytic, while the light pink fibers were fast oxidative
## 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
## Abstract The effects of inorganic ions and of the hydrogen ion on oxygenβbinding properties of most respiratory pigments are opposite. The addition of salt to the medium increases oxygen affinities, and the addition of H+ decreases oxygen affinities of crustacean hemocyanins. These oxygenation p
