The effect of salinity on osmotic regulation and respiratory rate of the prawn Macrobrachium tenellum Smith, 1871 (Decapoda: Caridea: Palaemonidae)

Abstract: The effect of salinity on oxygen consumption rate and hemolymph osmolarity of the palaemonid prawn Macrobrachium tenellum (Smith, 1871) maintained at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 psu was analyzed. Oxygen consumption rate was measured in respiratory chambers and osmolality from samples of hemolymph. Oxygen consumption rose significantly beyond 15 psu, with individuals showing hyper regulatory behavior from 0 to 10 psu, being able to maintain its internal solutes concentration (426–504 mmol kg–1) higher than that of … Show more
