Seasonal environmental parameters influence biochemical responses of the fiddler crab Minuca rapax to contamination in situ

The mudflat fiddler crab Minuca rapax, typical of mangroves and intertidal zones in the Western Atlantic Ocean, responds to fluctuations in environmental parameters by biochemical and physiological adjustments. Such biochemical effects are commonly employed in environmental studies as biomarkers of...
