Amylase, maltase and sucrase activities in hepatopancreas of the euryhaline crab Neohelice granulata (Decapoda: Brachyura: Varunidae): partial characterization and response to low environmental salinity

Amylase, maltase and sucrase activities in hepatopancreas of the euryhaline crab Neohelice granulata (Decapoda: Brachyura: Varunidae): partial characterization and response to low environmental salinity

Studies on digestive adjustments at the biochemical level in relation to salinity in euryhaline crabs are lacking. Moreover, knowledge of biochemical digestive characteristics of euryhaline crabs (i.e. occurrence and characteristics of key digestive enzyme activities) is still scarce and fragmentary...
