Cadmium and copper metallothioneins in the American lobster, Homarus americanus.
Lobsters were fed cadmium-rich oysters for 28 days, and the induction of cadmium metallothionein and its relation to concentrations of cadmium, copper, and zinc in the digestive gland and gills was determined. A portion of the tissues also was retained for determining the cytosolic distribution of these metals by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The digestive gland contained a ma...
متن کاملRecognizing Incipient Epizootic Shell Disease Lesions in the Carapace 2 of the American Lobster, Homarus americanus
Causal factors leading to Epizootic Shell Disease (ESD) lesions in American Lobster, H. 20 americanus, are not well understood. We explore the structural and physiological bases for 21 development of ESD from preclinical stages invisible to unaided eye to early visible stages. We present 22 a lobster shell model which develops structural functional vulnerability and suggests plausible routes to...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of cardiac performance in the lobster Homarus americanus.
The lobster Homarus americanus inhabits ocean waters that vary in temperature over a 25 degrees C range, depending on the season and water depth. To investigate whether the lobster heart functions effectively over a wide range of temperatures we examine the temperature dependence of cardiac performance of isolated lobster hearts in vitro. In addition, we examined whether modulation of the heart...
متن کاملBehavioral Analysis of the Escape Response in the Juvenile Lobster Homarus Americanus over the Molt Cycle
1. Components of the escape response of the American lobster were compared over the molt cycle. Number of tailflips, frequency, duration and distance were measured. Velocity, acceleration, force and work were computed from the above measurements, using time-lapse video-recordings of escaping lobsters. 2. Soft-shelled postmolt lobsters (stage B) traveled further, spent more time tailflipping and...
متن کاملGross Dissection of the Stomach of the Lobster, Homarus Americanus
The stomach of the American lobster (Homarus americanus) is located in the cephalothorax, between the rostrum and the cervical groove. The anterior end of the stomach is defined by the mouth opening and the posterior end by the bottom of the pylorus. Along the dorsal side of the stomach lies the stomatogastric nervous system (STNS). This nervous system, which contains rhythmic networks that und...
