Osmoregulatory ability of the rock crab, Cancer irroratus, under osmotic stress

Evolutionary trade-offs in osmotic and ionic regulation and the expression of gill ion transporter genes in high latitude, Neotropical cold clime crabs from the ‘end of the world’

“…However, their abilities to regulate osmolality and specific ions show striking differences. Acanthocyclus albatrossis is a weak hyper-osmoregulator in dilute media, but osmoconforms in seawater and at salinities above ≈40 ‰S, much like other infralittoral crabs such as the portunids Carcinus maenas (Siebers et al 1982, Cieluch et al 2004) and Callinectes ornatus (Garçon et al 2009), cancrid Cancer irroratus (Cantelmo et al 1975), varunids Hemigrapsus oregonensis, H. nudus (Dehnel 1962) and H. sanguineus (Hudson et al 2018) and panopeid Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Smith 1967). In contrast, Halicarcinus planatus osmoconforms over the 10 to 50 ‰S range used, much like the cancrid Cancer pagurus (Whitely et al 2018), epialtids Libinia emarginata, L. dubia (Bursey 1982) and Pugettia producta (Cornell 1979) and hepatid Hepatus pudibundus (Freire et al 2008b).…”
