“…Oxygen consumption of blue shrimp was not affected by salinity. In other euryhaline decapods salinity was not found to significantly affect oxygen consumption if the experimental organisms were acclimated to the test salinities and if these were not extreme (Bishop et al, 1980;Gaudy and Sloane, 1981;Díaz-Herrera et al, 1992;Villarreal and Rivera, 1993;Salvato et al, 2001). For L. stylirostris juveniles, the time of acclimation to each salinity condition was sufficient for them to stabilize their internal medium (Castille and Lawrence, 1981); moreover, the range of salinities used corresponds to the natural fluctuations to which the species is exposed (Aragón, 2000).…”
