Hypo-osmoregulatory capacity (or hypo-OC, i.e., the difference between the osmolality of the haemolymph and that of sea water), haemolymph glycemia and haemolymph sodium and chloride concentrations of Penaeus stylirostris were studied in experimental tanks according to the size, the molt stage and t...
