Model for the accumulation of strontium and calcium by recently molted crayfish (Cambarus longulus longerostris Ort.)

· Limnology and Oceanography
After molting, crayfish absorbed Sr85 rapidly; rates of uptake decreased exponentially as an upper limit was approached (T 1/2 = 1 to 2 days). A simple mathematical model attributes this limit to the number of sites available for deposition in the exoskeleton. Deposited ions are relatively immobile until 2 to 4 days prior to the next molt, when some are redistributed to the calcareous gastroliths prior to reuse.
