Description 267-268
In the tissues of Scylla serrata (Forskal) from brackish water, Ocypode platytarsis (Milne H. Edwards) from seacoast and Oziotelphusa senex senex (Fabricius) from paddy fields the free amino acid (FAA) content is high. The muscle has the highest FAA content. The tissue aspartate (AAT) and alanine (AlAT) aminotransferase activities are high in muscle followed by gill and midgut gland indicating operation of gluconeogenesis for energy. AAT/AlAT ratios in the tissues largely demonstrate preponderance towards anaerobic metabolism. The AlAT activity also indicates adaptability of these brachyurans to their respective habitats against temperature, salinity, oxygen content, etc.
