Population ecology of the blue crab Callinectes danae (Crustacea: Portunidae) in a Brazilian tropical estuary.
This paper aims at describing the population ecology of the swimming crab Callinectes danae Smith, 1869 in one of the most productive estuaries of Brazil, the Santa Cruz Channel. These crabs were monthly collected from January to December/2009 at four stations along the channel, two in the upper and two in the lower estuary. A total of 2373 specimens of C. danae were collected during the study....
متن کاملIdentified Muscle Fibres in a Crab. Differences in Facilitation Properties
1. The superficial muscle fibres in the proximal head of the closer muscle in the crab Eriphia belong to four distinct fibre types (I-IV). By stimulating either the 'slow' or the 'fast' axon, facilitation properties of the EJPs were investigated in eight identifiable muscle fibres which represented the four fibre types. 2. Amount, time course and frequency dependence of facilitation (f) of both...
متن کاملCalcium-induced and voltage-dependent inactivation of calcium channels in crab muscle fibres.
Inactivation of Ca channels was examined in crab muscle fibres using the voltage-clamp method. A satisfactory suppression of outward currents was attempted by the use of K+ blocking agents: TEA, 4AP and Cs ions instead of K+ ions applied extracellularly. The inactivation of Ca current appeared as a bi-exponential process. The faster component had a mean value of the time constant of 50 ms while...
متن کاملMechanisms of fatigue induced by isometric contractions in exercising humans and in isolated mouse single muscle fibres
1. Muscle fatigue, i.e. the decrease in muscle performance during exercise, has been extensively studied using a variety of experimental paradigms, from mouse to man, from single cell to whole body exercise. Given the disparity of the models used to characterize muscle fatigue, it can be difficult to establish whether the results of basic in vitro studies are applicable to exercise in humans. 2...
متن کاملOsmotic effects on arginine kinase function in living muscle of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus.
Flux was examined through the reaction catalyzed by arginine kinase in intact blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) muscle during simulated changes in salinity. Isolated dark levator muscles from the swimming leg were superfused with a saline solution that had an osmolarity equivalent to that of the hemolymph under different salinity regimes. Animals were acclimated for 7 days to a salinity of 5, 17 ...
