Popis: Intertidal crustaceans like Carcinus maenas shift between an osmoconforming and osmoregulating state when inhabiting full-strength seawater and dilute environments, respectively. While the bodily fluids and environment of marine osmoconformers are approximately isosmotic, osmoregulating crabs inhabiting dilute environments maintain their bodily fluid osmolality above that of their environment by actively absorbing and retaining osmolytes (e.g., Na
