They concluded that the salinity receptors were located in or near the excurrent opening of the branchial chambers. In the crayfish Procambarus simulans, the branchial chamber also appears to be the location of receptors that mediate cardiovascular responses to changes in salinity (Larimer, 1964).

Thereafter, the crabs kept the mouthparts sealed, isolating the branchial chamber. This sealing of the branchial chambers has been reported previously for Cancer magister (Sugarman et al., 1980).
