During the Callianassa californiensis larval release period, weekly zooplankton samples were taken through daylight tidal cycles near the mouth of a small, fast flushing estuary on the Central Oregon coast. Although C. californiensis adults are confined to estuaries and embayments, stage I zoeal larvae were shown to be exported from...
Oxygen binding behavior and subunit association-dissociation of
the hemocyanin from Callianassa are sensitive to several environmental
variables. Callianassa californiensis is a burrowing estuarine which
must survive changes in salinity, temperature and oxygen availability.
Previous work on the structure and function of the hemocyanin was
done under conditions which did not...
