The crustacean gill is a multi-functional organ, and it is the site of a number of physiological
processes, including ion transport, which is the basis for hemolymph osmoregulation; acid …

Osmoregulation is an essential physiological process for the majority of aquatic crustaceans
since it enables them to cope with the changes/discrepancies between the ion …

Stress proteins such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) and metallothioneins (MTs) play a key
role in cellular protection against environmental stress. Marine ectotherms such as eastern …

Hypo-salinity events frequently occur in marine ecosystem due to persistent rainfall and
freshwater inflow, reducing the cytosol osmolarity and triggering cellular stress responses in …

In the present study, we investigated the progressive acclimation of the mussel Mytilus
galloprovincialis to different reduced seawater (SW) salinities and its effect on several …

As a catadromous species, salinity is a key parameter that affects gonadal development of
Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis during reproductive migration. It is however unclear …

The Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), a euryhaline penaeid species, can
tolerate a wide range of salinities, but little is known on its strategies to cope with low salinity …

Osmoregulating decapods such as the Mediterranean green crab Carcinus aestuarii
possess two groups of spatially segregated gills: anterior gills serve mainly respiratory …

Studies of euryhaline crustaceans have identified conserved osmoregulatory adaptions
allowing hyper-osmoregulation in dilute waters. However, previous studies have mainly …

Aquatic animals can often undergo substantial physiological responses to salinity; however,
associated lipid/fatty acid alterations to their various tissues have received little attention. To …
