The morphometric changes in the gills of the estuarine crab Chasmagnathus granulatus under hyper- and hyporegulation conditions are not caused by proliferation of specialised cells
Chasmagnathus granulatus is a hyper-hyporegulating crab that inhabits changing habitats of salinity in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Since the gills are the main sites for active ion transport in crabs, the adaptive changes in the gill epithelium occurring under different conditions of salinity wer...
