Fig. 8. Carbonic anhydrase activity (µmol CO2 mg
protein1 min1) in anterior (G4, black
bars) and posterior (G8, gray bars) of green crabs acclimated to 32 p.p.t. and
transferred to 10 p.p.t. for 4 days. 32, 32 p.p.t. acclimated controls;
10-4days, intact crabs assayed after 4 days at 10 p.p.t.; 10 inj1x, intact
crabs given a once daily injection of eyestalk extract from `donor' crabs
acclimated to 32 p.p.t.; 10 inj2x, intact crabs given twice-daily injections
of eyestalk extract from `donor' crabs acclimated to 32 p.p.t. Values are
means ± s.e.m. (N=6-7). T=12°C. Asterisk
indicates statistical difference at the 0.05 level of significance in G4 from
32 p.p.t. control. Different letters indicate statistical differences at
P<0.05 in G8 across treatments.
