The processes of regeneration and molting in crustacea have been shown to be affected adversely by the presence of various contaminants in the water. A retardation of regeneration and ecdysis has been demonstrated in Uca by exposure to Cd and methylmercury (meHg). Pre-exposure to 0.5 mg/L Cd for one week enabled male (but not female) U. pugilator to become more resistant to the effects of 1.0 mg/L Cd during regeneration. In the current study, the authors wished to lear whether this same pre-exposure to Cd would enable the crabs to become more resistant to HgCl/sub 2/ or to meHg.
