Due to the over-harvesting and deterioration of wild populations, the ever-growing
crustacean market is increasingly reliant on aquaculture, driving the need for better …

The androgenic gland (AG)–a unique crustacean endocrine organ that secretes factors such
as the insulin-like androgenic gland (IAG) hormone—is a key player in crustacean sex …

Androgenic glands (AGs) of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii were
subjected to endocrine manipulation, causing them to hypertrophy. Transcripts from these …

In sequential hermaphrodites, intersexuality occurs naturally, usually as a transition state
during sexual re-differentiation processes. In crustaceans, male sexual differentiation is …

Members of the insulin family of hormones are generally not regarded as gender-specific,
although there is sporadic evidence for the possible involvement of insulin pathways in …

Sexual Biology and Reproduction in Crustaceans covers crustacean reproduction as it deals
with the structural morphology of the gamete-producing primary sex organs, such as the …

Over the past six decades, a unique crustacean endocrine organ, the androgenic gland
(AG), has occupied the minds of groups researching Crustacea the world over. Unlike male …

To clarify the hormone control on sex determination and differentiation, we studied the
Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (Henri Milne Edwards, 1854), a species with …

In malacostracan crustaceans, sex differentiation is uniquely regulated by a hormone
secreted by the male-specific androgenic gland (AG). An isopod AG hormone was the first to …

Commercial crustacean fisheries are dwindling while demand is growing. Aquaculture is
