Biological Mechanism of Osmoregulatory Stress in Penaeid Shrimp, Penaeus Indicus
Author(s): AD Diwan*
Osmoregulation in several crustaceans is an adaptive function to carry out different important physiological roles and
processes during their entire life cycle. Most of the penaeid shrimp during their entire life span, spend part of their
life in deeper marine waters and rest in brackish waters. For breeding and spawning, they migrate in high saline
waters and for the purpose of growth particularly during the early phases of development; they migrate towards a
brackish water environment. This kind of anadromous and catadromous migratory behaviour of the animals requires
a lot of energy to meet the physiological stresses and successful adaptations to adjust to new changing environments
frequently. The mechanism of homeostasis plays an important role in all these animals to maintain internal salt and
ionic concentration of the body fluids always higher than the surr.. View More»
