“…Mitten crab is a catadromous species, defined as a species that spends most of its life in freshwater and migrates to seawater to breed (Herborg et al 2003), and the stages of its culture in brackish and fresh water environments are schematically depicted in Fig. 3.…”

Results of a survey of 156 Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) grow-out farms around Hongze Lake (118.48-118.72°E; 33.36-33.38°N) are reported. Area farmed has remained relatively unchanged but production (59 932 t in 2012) increased steadily over the last 7 years, indicative of the viability and sustainability of the farming system that has gradually replaced intensive Chinese major carp polyculture around Hongze Lake. Results showed that production range was 135-2400 kg ha -1 cycle -1 (mean 1144 ± 34). Crab yields correlated linearly to stocking density and conformed to a normal distribution curve, with 66.7 % of farms yielding 900 kg ha -1 cycle -1 or more. Yield was negatively correlated to pond size and capture size (p\0.01), and farms with macrophyte coverage rate lower than 30 % of water surface were significantly (p\0.05) lower than those exceeding 30 %.

“…Thereafter, embryos, zoeas and megalops of E. sinensis develop in estuaries, and when they moult to juveniles they start the upstream migration towards the limnic parental habitat (Herborg et al 2003). Its unusual life cycle makes this species extremely euryhaline.…”

The response of digestive enzyme activity in the mature Chinese mitten crab, <i>Eriocheir sinensis</i> (Decapoda: Brachyura), to gradual increase of salinity

SUMMARY: Mature Chinese mitten crabs, Eriocheir sinensis, were exposed to brackish water or seawater as an obligatory part of their reproductive migration. Physiological and biochemical reorganization were needed to adapt them to this migration. To understand the digestive adjustments of Eriocheir sinensis at biochemical level during this transformation from freshwater to seawater, the response of the activity of five digestive enzymes (amylase, cellulase, pepsin, trypsin and lipase) in the hepatopancreas to salinities increasing gradually from 0 (freshwater) to 35 (seawater) was analysed in mature females and males. Digestive enzymes exhibited significantly higher activities in the hepatopancreas of males than those of females, except lipase. In females, amylase, pepsin and trypsin activities began to decrease significantly as the salinity reached 28, and cellulase activity decreased at 35; in males, a considerable decrease in the activity of digestive enzymes, except lipase, was observed at 21 and higher salinities, while an increase was observed at 14. Reduced enzyme activities at elevated salinities suggest that the digestive capacity of crabs for diets becomes weak, and all these digestive enzymes participated in digestive adjustments during osmoregulation. The initial salinity which induced the decrease of enzyme activity was lower in males than in females, indicating that females were more tolerant to elevated salinities than males from the point of digestive biochemical modulation.Keywords: mature crab, digestive enzyme, sexual difference, metabolic regulation, osmoregulation, salinity. RESUMEN: Respuesta de la actividad enzimática digestiva al incRemento gRadual de la salinidad en el cangRejo de shanghai maduRo, EriochEir sinEnsis (decapoda: BRachyuRa). -Se expusieron cangrejos de Shanghai maduros (Eriocheir sinensis) a agua salobre o agua marina obligatoriamente durante la migración reproductora. A fin de que los ejemplares se adaptaran a esta migración, fue preciso proceder a una reorganización fisiológica y bioquímica. Con objeto de estudiar los ajustes digestivos de carácter bioquímico del Eriocheir sinensis durante la transformación del agua dulce en agua marina, se analizó la reacción de la actividad en el hepatopáncreas de cinco enzimas digestivas (amilasa, celulasa, pepsina, tripsina y lipasa) a un aumento gradual de la salinidad, desde 0 ppt (agua dulce) hasta 35 ppt (agua marina), en ejemplares maduros machos y hembras. Las enzimas digestivas mostraron un grado de actividad notablemente mayor en el hepatopán-creas de los machos que en el de las hembras, con excepción de la lipasa. En las hembras, la actividad de la amilasa, la pepsina y la tripsina comenzó a reducirse notablemente cuando la salinidad alcanzó las 28 ppt, mientras que la actividad de la celulasa descendió cuando se alcanzaron las 35 ppt; en el caso de los machos, se observó un descenso muy pronunciado de la actividad enzimática digestiva a partir de las 21 ppt, aunque la actividad aumentó a las 14 ppt. La menor actividad enzimát...

“…E. sinensis has received much attention also as an invasive species. Originating from Southeast Asia, it has spread to Europe and North America (Panning 1938, for recent review see Herborg et al 2003, Rudnick et al 2005. Its successful dispersal in brackish coastal lagoons, rivers, and land-locked inland waters is based on its capability to cope equally well with freshwater, brackish water, or seawater (termed holo-euryhalinity; Kinne 1971).…”
