...Gert Flik; Christophe Haond ABSTRACT Crude homogenates and plasma-membrane-enriched fractions were prepared from the epithelium of the gills, epipodites and branchiostegites of intermoult European lobsters Homarus gammarus , and Na + /K + -ATPase, Ca 2+ -ATPase and Na + /Ca 2+ exchange activities...

...Stefan Clemens; Jean-Charles Massabuau; Pierre Meyrand; John Simmers ABSTRACT The well known rhythmically active pyloric neural network in intact and freely behaving lobsters Homarus gammarus was monitored prior to and following ecdysis. Despite long-lasting hormonal and metabolic alterations...

...C. Haond; G. Flik; G. Charmantier ABSTRACT The adult lobster Homarus gammarus is a weak hyper-regulator at low salinity. The objective of this study was to locate the ion-transporting tissues in the branchial chamber of this species, using electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy...
