It is a homeostastic mechanism in which they keep an optimal concentration of solutes and quantity of water in the bodily fluids (Canalon‚ 2009). Osmoregulation in crustaceans has been subjected to study by numerous authors (Morris‚ 2001) (Charmantier et al.‚ 1988) (Thurman‚ 2003) typically in terrestrial and estuarine species (Bursey‚ 1976). For crab species living in estuaries‚ they are exposed to varying levels of
