Indicators of physiological and immunological status of Litopenaeus setiferus wild populations (Crustacea, Penaeidae)

Experimental evidence of metabolic disturbance in the white shrimp Penaeus vannamei induced by the Infectious Hypodermal and Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHHNV)

“…Besides, glucose in shrimp plasma has been used as a good indicator of the general physiological status (Racotta and Palacios, 1998;Rosas et al, 2004). Thus, the plasma glucose concentration during the course of the IHHNV infectious process was evaluated.…”

Physiological responses of the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea uncinata (Milne Edwards 1837) (Decapoda: Thalassinidea) to oxygen availability and recovery after severe environmental hypoxia

“…Since its concentration has been reported to account for between 60% and 90% of the total protein dissolved in the hemolymph (Rosas et al, 2004), variations in its concentrations should be seen in the total dissolved proteins in the hemolymph. Our data only partially support this idea, as hemolymph proteins (4 kPa) increased earlier than Oxy-Hc (2 kPa).…”

Effect of maternal temperature stress before spawning over the energetic balance of Octopus maya juveniles exposed to a gradual temperature change

“…Pg was obtained using the actual growth rate of all octopuses during the experimental time (45 days). A value of 10.1 kJ g − 1 was used to transform the growth data into energy production units of J g −1 day −1 dry weight (Rosas et al, 2004(Rosas et al, , 2008. Respiratory (R) and production net efficiency (Pg E) values were calculated as R / AS × 100 and Pg / AS × 100, respectively.…”
