Summary
InScylla serrata, the haemolymph free calcium and bound calcium showed fluctuations during the different hours of the day. Whenever bound calcium decreased or increased in the haemolymph, the free calcium increased or decreased respectively; the significance of this is discussed. Besides, the suitability and reliability of Webster's chloranilic acid method, compared with other methods for the determination of haemolymph free and bound calcium, are empirically assessed.
