Cellular and biochemical parameters in the crab Carcinus aestuarii after experimentally-induced stress: Effects of bacterial injection, leg ablation and bacterial injection/leg ablation combination

► The effects of differing stressors on the crab Carcinus aestuarii were evaluated. ► Various biomarkers were measured. ► Stress conditions affected both cellular and biochemical parameters in C. aestuarii. ► Crabs modulated the biological parameters depending on the kind of stress undergone.
