The effect on osmoregulation may also be related in part to the modification of Cu composition of the megalopa fed Artemia enriched optimal copper levels, resulting from high hemocyanin concentrations related to the increasing expression of hemocyanin messenger RNA in megalopa in response to dietary copper (Rtall & Truchot 1996, Sun et al.

The role of calcium in crustacean hepato-pancreatic cells has also been studied, and calcium has been determined to participate in regulating the concentration of heavy metals, including copper, zinc, iron, and magnesium, which play important roles in enzymes activation and in the synthesis of respiratory pigments such as hemocyanin.
