The main objective of this work is to study some biological aspects of Carcinus aestuarii Northern Sfax (biometry, reproduction, diet), and biochemical contents (water, protein, minerals, and fat). Analysis of metric characteristics of Carcinus aestuarii allowed us to determine the nature of the allometry between the width and différent parts of the body of the crab. For reproduction study, analysis of monthly changes in the gonadosomatic index (GSI) shows that the spawning period of Carcinus aestuarii North Sfax occurs from October to January. The analysis of monthly variations of the hepatosomatic index (HSI), shows that this species used the hepatic reserved to the maturity of gonads. The analysis of monthly variations of the sex-ratio shows that the... |

Osmoregulating decapods such as the Mediterranean green crab Carcinus aestuarii possess two groups of spatially segregated gills: anterior gills serve mainly respiratory purposes, while posterior gills contain osmoregulatory structures. The co-existence of similar tissues serving different functions allows the study of differential adaptation, in terms of free radical metabolism, upon salinity change. Crabs were immersed for 2 weeks in seawater (SW, 37 ppt), diluted SW (dSW, 10 ppt) and concentrated SW (cSW, 45 ppt). Exposure to dSW was the most challenging condition, elevating respiration rates of whole animals and free radical formation in hemolymph (assessed fluorometrically using C-H(2)DFFDA). Further analyses considered anterior and posterior gills... |
