Functional characteristics of the blood of the deep-sea hydrothermal vent brachyuran crab [Bythograea thermydron]

Hemocyanin in the whole blood of the hydrothermal vent brachyuran crab, Bythograea thermydron, has a moderate oxygen affinity (P$_{50}$ = 6.6 millimeters of mercury at 2.6°C; pH 7.5), which unlike that of other hemocyanins is independent of temperature over the range 2° to 30°C; carbon dioxide and p...
