the function of hemocyanin in respiration of the blue crab callinectes sapidus.blood po2 in the blue crab callinectes sapidus, a very active species of tropical origin, is lower at 22 degrees c than that of larger crabs in colder waters. these low oxygen levels permit its hemocyanin to be highly oxygenated at the gill, and to deliver almost half of its oxygen to the tissues in resting animals. sustained muscular activity results in conspicuous decreases in blood po2, ph and hemocyanin oxygenation. although the venous reserve is fully utilized, hemocyanin oxygenation at the ...1975240904
the influence of environmental salinity on hemocyanin function in the blue crab, callinectes sapidus.the effects of inorganic ions and of the hydrogen ion on oxygen-binding properties of most respiratory pigments are opposite. the addition of salt to the medium increases oxygen affinities, and the addition of h+ decreases oxygen affinities of crustacean hemocyanins. these oxygenation properties, as observed in vitro, suggest that the oxygen-transport system must adapt to ionic changes in the blood. in fact, decreases in the salt concentration of the blood of estaurine blue crabs are accompanied ...1975240905

blue crab mortality: interaction of temperature and ddt residues.serial observations of ddt-contaminated and uncontaminated salt marshes in the norther gulf of mexico were made in november and december, 1973. blue crab (callinectes sapidus) mortalities observed in the ddt-contaminated marsh during this period were correlated with reduced daily temperature minima. gas chromatographic analysis of hepatopancreas and swimmeret muscle tissue of dead and dying crabs revealed total ddt residue concentrations as high as 39.0 ppm and 1.43 ppm, respectively. it is sugg ...19761267483
calcitonin-like immunoreactivity in the blue crab: tissue distribution, variations in the molt cycle, and partial characterization.calcitonin-like immunoreactivity has been found in blood and tissues of the marine blue crab, callinectes sapidus rathbun. the activity in blood rises significantly during the immediate premolt (d4) stage, but tissue immunoreactivity does not vary significantly with molt stage. the immunoreactivity to antisalmon calcitonin serum is due to a 27.2 kda protein that shows strong similarities in amino acid composition to a similar protein in a lobster and to human calcitonin precursor. the protein is ...19921640198
in vivo magnetic resonance imaging of the blue crab, callinectes sapidus: effect of cadmium accumulation in tissues on proton relaxation properties.nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (mri) has been used to visualize the internal anatomy of a living blue crab. the resolution obtained in these studies was sufficient to distinguish individual organs by the differences in their proton densities and proton relaxation properties. t1 (spin-lattice relaxation time)-weighted imaging revealed the lipid-rich nature of the hepatopancreas and gonadal tissue. to evaluate the effect of metal-induced stress on the different organs, crabs were exposed to el ...19921645119
the identification and structure-activity relations of a cardioactive fmrfamide-related peptide from the blue crab callinectes sapidus.the pericardial organs and thoracic ganglia of the blue crab callinectes sapidus were resected and extracted. the extracts were fractionated by hplc and the fractions analyzed by a radioimmunoassay (ria) to fmrfamide. multiple peaks of immunoreactivity were present and one of these, upon fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (fab-ms) and microsequencing, yielded the sequence gynrsflrfamide. the amount of this peptide in each crab is between 7 and 13 pmol. several incomplete sequences were also ...19911815216
purification and characterization of an iron-binding protein from the blue crab (callinectes sapidus).the presence of an iron-binding protein in the hemolymph of the blue crab (callinectes sapidus) was detected by gel filtration of 59fe-labeled hemolymph. the iron-binding protein was purified to homogeneity by ion exchange chromatography. 2. this protein has a mol. wt of 155,000 and consists of a single polypeptide chain with an isoelectric point of 5.0. 3. analysis of the iron-loaded protein indicates that it has a high affinity for iron and the capacity to bind approximately 10 atoms iron/mole ...19902085965
the effects of temperature, salinity and a simulated tidal cycle on the toxicity of fenitrothion to callinectes sapidus.the 96 hr lc50 for callinectes sapidus exposed to fenitrothion at 22 degrees c and a salinity of 34 ppt (parts per thousand) was estimated to be 8.6 micrograms/l with a 95% confidence interval of 7.4-9.9 micrograms/l. acute toxicity was shown to increase with increasing temperature as well as increasing salinity. exposure of callinectes to a simulated tidal cycle of 17 ppt salinity change at 6 hr intervals increased the acute toxicity of fenitrothion to callinectes. the autotomization response i ...19852858335
comparative properties of channel catfish (ictalurus punctatus) and blue crab (callinectes sapidus) acetylcholinesterases.1. acetylcholinesterases (aches) from channel catfish and blue crabs were examined for substrate preference, kms, effects of inhibitors, and ph and osmotic activity profiles. 2. similarities were noted for substrate preference along with ph and osmotic optima. 3. crab ache had a lower km (9 x 10(-5) vs 2 x 10(-4) m) and was more sensitive in terms of ki50s than fish ache to eserine (2.6 x 10(-7) vs 3 x 10(-7) m), malathion (4.5 x 10(-5) vs 1.6 x 10(-4) m) and parathion (6.9 x 10(-5) vs 7 x 10(-4 ...19882905945
the effect of dibutyryl camp on sodium uptake by isolated perfused gills of callinectes sapidus.hemolymph, collected from 25 and 100% seawater acclimated callinectes sapidus and perfused through the isolated gill, causes increases in na+ uptake in the gill. similarly, dibutyryl camp causes increases in na+ uptake when perfused through the gill. since pericardial organ (po) extracts dopamine and octopamine are known to increase camp levels in the perfused gill, it is suggested that these substances from the po may be the hemolymph factors which increase na+ uptake via the mediation of camp ...19873028905
ammonium ion substitutes for k+ in atp-dependent na+ transport by basolateral membrane vesicles.ion-transporting cells from posterior gills of blue crabs (callinectes sapidus) acclimated to low salinity were used as starting material for the preparation of microsomal membrane vesicles by density gradient centrifugation. the na+-k+-adenosinetriphosphatase (atpase)-enriched basolateral vesicles were loaded with kcl- or nh+4-containing medium by dilution and centrifugation, and initial rates of 22na+ uptake into the vesicles were measured by a rapid filtration procedure. varying the extravesi ...19873030142

uptake and survival of enteric viruses in the blue crab, callinectes sapidus.uptake of poliovirus 1 by the blue crab, callinectes sapidus, was measured to assess the likelihood of contamination by human enteric viruses. virus was found in all parts of the crab within 2 h after the crab was placed in contaminated artificial seawater. the highest concentrations of virus were found in the hemolymph and digestive tract, but the meat also contained virus. the concentration of virus in the crabs was generally less than in the surrounding water. changes in salinity did not subs ...19816261683
concentration of rotavirus and enteroviruses from blue crabs (callinectes sapidus).a simple method for concentration and detection of rotavirus and enteroviruses in the blue crab is described. virus was separated from tissue homogenates at ph 9.5, concentrated by adsorption to protein precipitates at ph 3.5, and recovered by elution of precipitates at ph 9.2. test samples of 12 to 15 ml were produced from an initial 100 g of crab tissues. cat-floc precipitation was used to remove sample toxicity for cell cultures. recovery effectiveness averaged 52% with poliovirus 1, echoviru ...19836318667
nonhomogeneous excitatory synapses of a crab stomach muscle.neuromuscular synapses of pyloric muscle p1 in the blue crab callinectes sapidus were examined using electrophysiological and electron microscopic methods. the muscle is innervated by a single excitatory axon of the stomatogastric ganglion. excitatory postsynaptic potentials show striking facilitation at very low frequencies of stimulation, indicating very slow decay of the facilitation process after a single nerve impulse. quantal content of transmitter release at a low frequency of stimulation ...1978632814
