Popis: 1. 1. King crab hemolymph was 5 to 20 m-osmoles hyperosmotic to the sea-water medium. The hemolymph of coon-striped shrimp and tanner crab was isosmotic to sea water. 2. 2. Magnesium (36.9 m-moles/l.) in king crab hemolymph was lower and chloride (577 m-moles) higher than in sea water. 3. 3. The coon-striped shrimp was the strongest ion regulator of the three species studied, the hemolymph concentrations of magnesium (5.8 m-moles) and chloride (466 m-moles) were lower, and calcium (12.3 m-moles) higher than in sea water. 4. 4. Chloride (462 m-moles) was the only ion regulated by the tanner crab.
