Investigation of haemocyanin oxygen affinity in two species of Palaemon has demonstrated the presence of an unidentified factor (s); (U.F.), in the plasma, that increases oxygen affinity. Plasma exchange experiments have further demonstrated that this factor is not species-specific and that the magn
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 CO~2~ excretion across the perfused trout gill was found to fall to levels approaching zero after 20โ30 minutes perfusion with perfusates with oxygen tensions at atmospheric levels. When perfusate oxygen levels were lowered by bubbling with nitrogen, CO~2~ excretion rates remained stabl
