Abstract
Dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin were measured in the haemolymph and gills of Carcinus maenas before and after transferring them into diluted seawater. A remarkable variation of the above-mentioned compounds was observed as a function of time of osmotic stress. C. maenas were captured in the Venetian lagoon near Chioggia, Italy in 1986.
