Cardiovascular Responses Resulting from Variation in External Salinity in the Dungeness Crab, Cancer magister
- I. Mcgaw, B. Mcmahon
- Biology
- Physiological Zoology
- 1 November 1996
Haemolymph flow was assessed simultaneously in the five arterial systems leaving the heart of the crab Cancer magister, allowing calculation of stroke volume and cardiac output via heart rate.… Expand
Application and In situ calibration of a pulsed-doppler flowmeter for blood flow measurement in crustaceans
- C. Airriess, B. Mcmahon, I. Mcgaw, G. Bourne
- Materials Science
- 1 May 1994
The pulsed-Doppler flowmeter permits continuous, non-invasive measurement of blood flow through several arteries simultaneously. Summation of volume flow rates through all arteries leaving the heart… Expand
Salinity preference of the shore crab Carcinus maenas in relation to coloration during intermoult and to prior acclimation
Abstract Intermoult Carcinus maenas (Crustacea: Decapoda) exhibit a range of carapace colours from green through orange to red, reflecting increasing lengths of intermoult duration, with red crabs… Expand
Distribution and rhythmic locomotor patterns of estuarine and open-shore populations of Carcinus maenas
Populations of Carcinus maenas (Crustacea: Decapoda) from an estuary and from the open shore were compared for salinity tolerance and rhythmic locomotor activity. Estuarine crabs were shown to be… Expand
Integrated physiological responses to feeding in the blue crab Callinectes sapidus.
The passage of a barium meal (15 % by mass) was followed through the digestive system of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus by flash-freezing crabs at set intervals, followed by radiography of… Expand
Behavioral Thermoregulation in Hemigrapsus nudus, the Amphibious Purple Shore Crab
- I. Mcgaw
- Biology, Medicine
- The Biological Bulletin
- 1 February 2003
The thermoregulatory behavior of Hemigrapsus nudus, the amphibious purple shore crab, was examined in both aquatic and aerial environments. Crabs warmed and cooled more rapidly in water than in air.… Expand
Feeding and digestion in low salinity in an osmoconforming crab, Cancer gracilis I. Cardiovascular and respiratory responses
- I. Mcgaw
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Experimental Biology
- 1 October 2006
SUMMARY The osmoregulatory physiology of decapod crustaceans has received extensive attention. Within this field there is a growing body of literature on cardiovascular and respiratory responses to… Expand
Intraspecific morphological variation related to the moult-cycle in colour forms of the shore crab Carcinus maenas
The common shore crab Carcinus maenas exhibits a range of carapace colours from green through orange to red, green forms showing some differences of distribution from red/orange forms. To test the… Expand
Burying behaviour of two sympatric crab species: Cancer magister and Cancer productus
- I. Mcgaw
- Biology
- 30 September 2005
The mechanics and emergence patterns associated with burying behaviour were investigated in the Dungeness crab, Cancer magister , and the red rock crab, Cancer productus . Cancer magister used both… Expand
Circulatory modification in the blue crab Callinectes sapidus, during exposure and acclimation to low salinity
Abstract A pulsed-Doppler flowmeter was used to measure heart rate and haemolymph flow rates in each arterial system of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, enabling calculation of stroke volume and… Expand
