Fig. 5. Representative efflux curves for 22Na at different developmental
stages of Hemigrapsus crenulatus. Eggs were pooled from five
ovigerous crabs, batch-labelled in 22Na-labelled seawater for 24 h,
and washed in groups of 48 in unlabelled 100% seawater for varying
times. (A) Egg radioactivity (expressed as nmol exchangeable sodium at the
radioactive concentration of the loading medium) is shown on a linear scale;
(B) natural logarithm of the radioactivity is plotted. Each point is the mean
(± s.e.m. in the linear plot) of 58 groups of eggs sampled at
each time. Trend lines were fitted by single or bi-exponential regression (see
Materials and methods).
