Survival of 12.7 g (average body weight) Litopenaeus vannamei was examined at temperatures of 14, 16, 18, 28, 32, 34 and 36$^{\circ}C$ and salinities of l0, 20, 30 and 40 ppt after 7 days. Hemolymph osmolality was measured at 12 combinations of salinities (l0, 20, 30 and 40 ppt) and temperature levels (18, 28 and 34$^{\circ}C$) after 14 days. The results show that the species have their best survival between temperatures of 18 and 3$0^{\circ}C$ and salinity above 20 ppt. Hemolymph osmolality increased with increased salinity at all temperatures tested. The isosmotic point calculated from the linear relationship between hemolymph osmolality and medium osmolality and recorded as 826, 809 and 1,117 mOsm/kg which is equivalent to 29.4, 28.8 and 40.2 ppt at 18, 28 and 34$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The slopes obtained from the relationship between hemolymph osmolality and medium osmolality were 0.314, 0.276 and 0.541 for L. vannamei at 18, 28 and 34$^{\circ}C$, respectively, suggesting that the shrimp at 34$^{\circ}C$ regulated osmotic concentration much worse than those at 18 and 28$^{\circ}C$. This result also indicated that L. vannamei living at 34$^{\circ}C$, showed more fluctuation in hemolymph osmolality than those at 18 and 28$^{\circ}C$.

Stress-inducible proteins may function in part as molecular chaperones, protecting cells from damage due to various stresses and helping to maintain homeostasis. We examined the mRNA expression patterns of a 68-kDa heat shock protein (HSP68) and 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) in relation to physiological changes in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas under osmotic stress. Expression of HSP68 and GRP78 mRNA in the gill significantly increased until 48 h in a hypersaline environment (HRE) and 72 h in a hyposaline environment (HOE), and then decreased. Osmolality and the concentrations of $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Ca^{2+}$ in the hemolymph of HRE oysters significantly increased until 72 h (the highest value) and then gradually decreased; in HOE oysters, these values significantly decreased until 72 h (the lowest value), and then increased. These results suggest that osmolality and $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations were stabilized by HSP68 and GRP78, and indicate that these two stress-induced proteins play an important role in regulating the metabolism and protecting the cells of the Pacific oysters exposed to salinity changes.

저염분 순치기간에 먹이를 섭취함으로서 얻을 수 있는 초기 유생의 생리적 변화는 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 하루 동안의 순치기간에 염분농도에 따른 유생의 생존율은 차이를 보였지만 각 염분구간별 먹이섭취 유무에 따른 생존효과는 유사하였다. 그러나 먹이섭취 시 유생이 에너지원으로 활용할 수 있는 cholesterol, triglyceride의 증가가 있었으며 삼투압에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 glucose 농도가 유의적으로 증가하였다. 또한 저염분 순치기간 동안에 스트레스, 조직손상 및 대사작용의 지표가 되는 BUN과 creatine의 감소가 있었다. 먹이섭취로 인한 소화효소의 활성이 먹이를 섭취한 실험구 모두에서 증가하였다. 그러므로 유생발달과 함께 중요한 소화, 순환, 생식기관이 형성되며 탈피 성장을 위한 신진대사가 빠르게 진행되는 유생시기에 저염분 순치가 효율적으로 이루어져 향후 지속적인 성장을 유도하기 위해서는 먹이를 섭취하는 것이 더 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.
