Crustaceans produce complex yolk proteins to meet the substrate and energy requirements
of embryonic development. Early electron microscopic investigations point to a biphasic yolk …

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 …

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

Circulatory lipid transport in animals is mediated to a substantial extent by members of the
large lipid transfer (LLT) protein (LLTP) superfamily. These proteins, including …

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 …

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 …

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