Abstract
1. 1. Hemolymph lactate concentrations were monitored in blue crabs ( Callinectes sapidus Rathbun) during hypoxic exposures and subsequent normoxic recoveries. 2. 2. High hemolymph lactate levels resulting from hypoxia were associated with marked behavioral abnormalities which were predicatable indicators of eventual mortality. 3. 3. Elevated lactate levels returned to pre-hypoxic levels after 7–8 hr of normoxic recovery.
