Early studies recognizing the importance of the decapod eyestalk in the endocrine
regulation of crustacean physiology—molting, metabolism, reproduction, osmotic balance …

A pair of Y-organs (YOs) are the molting glands of decapod crustaceans. They synthesize
and secrete steroid molting hormones (ecdysteroids) and their activity is controlled by …

Background. Neuropeptides are important regulators of physiological processes and
behavior. Although they tend to be generally well conserved, recent results using …

Transcriptomes of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii were analyzed for the presence of
transcripts encoding neurohormones, neuropeptides and their receptors. A total of 58 …

Through the widespread implementation of next-generation sequencing (NGS), analyses of
the whole genome (the entire DNA content) and the whole transcriptome (the genes being …

Polysaccharides have many functions in aquatic animals and are widely used as
immunopotentiators. However, despite the emergence of serious diseases, few studies have …

Symbiotic microorganisms in the hepatopancreas have been found in various crustaceans,
and their vital role in maintaining host health has drawn increasing attention. However, the …

Corbicula fluminea is highly sensitive to ammonia, and its response mechanism to ammonia
stress is unclear. In this study, C. fluminea was exposed to different levels of ammonia …

Against a backdrop of food insecurity, the farming of decapod crustaceans is a rapidly
expanding and globally significant source of food protein. Sagmariasus verreauxi spiny …

Crayfish has become one of the most important farmed aquatic species in China due to its
excellent disease resistance against bacteria and viruses. However, the antiviral mechanism …
