Abstract

Petrolisthes cinctipes survives in a high-mid intertidal habitat in which physicochemical changes are more drastic compared to the low intertidal/subtidal zone of Petrolisthes eriomerus. This study examined how the hemocyanins of these two species differed functionally in response to physicochemical factors.
