Resumen:
Haemolymphatic PO2, PCO2, and pH, and ionic concentrations of haemolymph and branchial
chamber water were measured in submerged and emersed crabs. Hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis were recorded
after 15 min of air exposure, then PCO2 remained constant and pH was compensated. Sodium concentration
increased in haemolymph and decreased in branchial water. The difference between haemolymph Na1 and
Cl2 increased dramatically. Acidbase balance is restored by two mechanisms: a) increase of the PCO2 gradient
across the gills and consequently the rate of CO2 excretion; b) the increase in the strong ion difference, caused
by branchial sodium uptake, compensates the hypercapnic acidosis.O2, PCO2, and pH, and ionic concentrations of haemolymph and branchial
