Fig. 1. Cardiovascular parameters of Cancer gracilis (N=10). (A) Heart rate (beats min-1), (B) stroke volume (ml beat-1), (C) cardiac output (ml min-1) and haemolymph flow rates (ml min-1) through the (D) anterior aorta, (E) left anterolateral artery, (F) right hepatic artery, (G) posterior aorta and (H) sternal artery. Crabs were monitored during a 3 h control period in 100%SW, food was administered and cardiac parameters followed for a further 12 h in seawater. Values are means ± s.e.m. The beginning of the feeding periods are marked. In certain cases error bars are small and do not show clearly on figures.
