The only problem that humans have when it comes to being in the water is that it is physically impossible for someone to stay underwater for an extended period of time. Most humans

Osmoregulation as a Homeostatic Mechanism using the Comparitive Melting-Point Method for two Crab Species. Abstract Two crab species, Plagusia and Cyclograpsus, were collected from a local estuary in the littoral and deep water zone for osmoregulation studies. To examine differences in osmoregulatory mechanisms among the species, haemolymph of the specimens was extracted once they were acclimated to varying concentrations of seawater. Using the comparative melting-point, capillary tubes were
