L'importance du facteur rhopique (équilibre ionique) pour la vie aquatique

Crustaceans

“…The ionic equilibrium of aquatic environments is defined by the rhopic factor which uses the ratios Mg/Ca and/or Mg'Ca/total ions (Pora, 1969). Since seawater is normally saturated or near-saturated with respect to calcium carbonate, most crustaceans usually attain full genotypic expression through to adulthoodbut not always.…”
