... unigenes from the transcriptome of Eriocheir sinensis , after removal of the eyestalk. Analysis of the binding affinity between CHH and CHHBP provided direct evidence that CHH interacts with CHHBP in a specific binding mode. Subsequent analysis showed that CHHBP is expressed primarily in the hepatopancreas...

... and an increase in salinity results in a metabolic acidosis. Alterations in acid–base status by external changes in salinity are thought to be secondary to the adjustments required for ionic and osmotic regulation. In the present study, acid–base adjustments in the haemolymph of Eriocheir sinensis after transfer...

...Horst Onken ABSTRACT Split lamellae of posterior gills of Chinese crabs ( Eriocheir sinensis ) acclimated to fresh water were mounted in a modified Ussing-type chamber, and the transepithelial short-circuit current and conductance were measured. The epithelium shows independent active...

...Horst Onken; Max Putzenlechner ABSTRACT Using biochemical and electrophysiological techniques, we have examined the proposal that an H + -ATPase is involved in Cl - uptake across the gills of the Chinese crab Eriocheir sinensis . Bafilomycin A 1 (1 µ ,mol l -1 ), a specific inhibitor of V-ATPases...
