Physiological responses of adult Penaeus semisulcatus (de haan) to changes in salinity

1. 1. Adult intermoult Penaeus semisulcatus were shown to be relatively poor osmoregulators. 2. 2. They respond to 18‰ salinity with a fall in respiration rate and death. 3. 3. They have a narrow optimal survival range in salinity tolerance tests. 4. 4. The slope of haemolymph concentration against...

More Information
Summary:1. 1. Adult intermoult Penaeus semisulcatus were shown to be relatively poor osmoregulators. 2. 2. They respond to 18‰ salinity with a fall in respiration rate and death. 3. 3. They have a narrow optimal survival range in salinity tolerance tests. 4. 4. The slope of haemolymph concentration against seawater concentration was found to be 0.73, much higher than values reported for other species of the genus.
