“…Salinity is also one of the important environmental factors influencing overwintering in S. paramamosain (Zhen & Shao, 2001). S. paramamosain is a euryhaline crab (Wang, Tang, Wei, Lu, Mu, et al, 2018; Wang et al., 2018a, b; Wang, Wei, et al, 2019); however, previous studies on the effects of salinity on osmotic pressure, plasma cortisol, digestive, immunity and amino acid of crabs have mainly focused on a sharp change (Lu, Zhuang, Feng, Zhang, & Wang, 2011). However, there are few studies on the effects of long‐term gradual changes in salinity on S. paramamosain .…”
