topics (OpenAlex): Crustacean biology and ecology; Aquaculture Nutrition and Growth; Fish biology, ecology, and behavior
TL;DR:
Juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, extensively utilize oligohaline and freshwater regions of the estuary and maintain osmotic and ionic homeostasis by the expression and utilization of extremely high levels of gill Na+, K+ -ATPase, in posterior, as well as in anterior, gills.
