Physiological responses to digestion in low salinity in the crabs Carcinus maenas and Cancer irroratus

Osmoregulation and digestion are energetically demanding, and crabs that move into low salinity environments to feed must be able to balance the demands of both processes. Achieving this balance may pose greater challenges for weak than for efficient osmoregulators. This study examined the rate of o...
