Osmoregulation is by no means an energetically cheap process, and its costs have been extensively quantified in terms of respiration and aerobic metabolism. Common products of mitochondrial activity are reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which may cause oxidative stress by degrading key cell components, while playing essential roles in cell homeostasis. Given the delicate equilibrium between pro-and antioxidants in fueling acclimation responses, the need for a thorough understanding of the relationship between salinity-induced oxidative stress and osmoregulation arises as an important issue, especially in the context of global changes and anthropogenic impacts on coastal habitats. This is especially urgent for intertidal/ estuarine organisms, which may be subject to drastic salinity and habitat changes, leading to redox imbalance. How do osmoregulation strategies determine energy expenditure, and how do these processes affect organisms in terms of oxidative stress? What mechanisms are used to cope with salinity-induced oxidative stress? This Commentary aims to highlight the main gaps in our knowledge, covering all levels of organization. From an energy-redox perspective, we discuss the link between environmental salinity changes and physiological responses at different levels of biological organization. Future studies should seek to provide a detailed understanding of the relationship between osmoregulatory strategies and redox metabolism, thereby informing conservation physiologists and allowing them to tackle the new challenges imposed by global climate change.

“…While being roughly isosmotic in seawater, the animal is an effective hyperosmotic regulator at lower salinities (Tan & Van Engel, 1966;Ballard & Abbott, 1969;Tagatz, 1971;Gerald & Gilles, 1972;Lynch, Webb & Van Engel, 1973;Findley & Stickle, 1978). Like all crustaceans, the blue crab has potentially four major sites of salt and water exchange: gills, excretory organs, integument, and gut.…”

“…Callinectes sapidus regulates its hemolymph Na+ level higher than that of the ambient seawater in low salinity environments (Mantel, 1967; Lynch, Webb & Van Engel, 1973;Findley & Stickle, 1978; see also Appendix I). It has been shown that the gills are the site of active Na+ absorption in dilute salinities (Mantel, 1967;Smith & Linton, 1971).…”
