This article reviews the morphogenesis, morphology, histology, ultrastructure, and structural–
functional relationships of the hepatopancreas, the main metabolic organ of the Decapoda …

The∼ 15.000 decapod crustaceans that are mostly omnivorous have evolved a structurally
and functionally complex digestive system. They have highly effective cuticular chewing and …

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary protein levels on growth
performance, muscle composition, digestive enzymes activities, hemolymph biochemical …

Recently, we briefly reported on the first case of parthenogenesis in the decapod Crustacea
which was found in the Marmorkrebs or marbled crayfish, a cambarid species of unknown …

The digestive system of the malacostracan crustaceans, namely the decapods, isopods,
amphipods and mysids, is among the most complex organ systems of the animal kingdom …

Commercial crustacean fisheries are dwindling while demand is growing. Aquaculture is
expected to meet supply requirements, thus better egg production and hatchery …

Extensive mannose trimming of nascent glycoprotein N-glycans signals their targeting to
endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). ER mannosidase I (ERManI) and …

Abstract The Australian redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) has recently received
attention as an emerging candidate for sustainable aquaculture production in Australia and …

This study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary trehalose on growth, muscle
composition, non-specific immune responses, gene expression and desiccation resistance …

Oocyte maturation in decapod crustaceans is a two step process. Primary vitellogenesis is
followed by a variable hiatus that lasts up to the onset of secondary vitellogenesis, which is …
