Emersion and recovery alter oxygen consumption, ammonia and urea excretion, and oxidative stress parameters, but not diffusive water exchange or transepithelial potential in the green crab (Carcinus maenas)
Abstract:The green crab (C. maenas) is an “inshore” species affected by intertidal zonation patterns, facing periods of emersion during low tide, and submersion during high tide. During these periods of air and subsequent water exposure, these species can face physiological challenges. We examined changes in O2 consumption rate (MO2), ammonia (JAmmnet) and urea (JUreanet) excretion rates over sequential 14 h periods in seawater (32 ppt, control), in air, and during recovery in seawater after air exposure (13°C througho… Show more
