Diseases of the European edible crab (Cancer pagurus): a review
The edible crab (Cancer pagurus) supports an important fishery in European waters. The fishery is increasing in size and in relative importance as stocks of marine finfish decline. Despite its importance, though, studies on the pathogens and parasites of this crab species are relatively lacking compared with studies of commercially exploited finfish and molluscan hosts. Recent basic surveys of ...
متن کاملMeasurement of crustacean hyperglycaemic hormone levels in the edible crab Cancer pagurus during emersion stress
The effects of emersion stress upon circulating hyperglycaemic hormone (CHH) levels in the edible crab Cancer pagurus were investigated using a highly specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay, with an antiserum directed against HPLC-purified C. pagurus CHH. Emersion resulted in hyperglycaemia and immediate hypoxia, as shown by rapid hyperlactaemia. CHH levels increased dramatically during the fi...
متن کاملReproductive and larval biology of the sub-Antarctic hermit crab Pagurus comptus reared in the laboratory
Fecundity, hatching rhythm, and the planktotrophic larval development of the hermit crab Pagurus comptus from sub-Antarctic waters of the Beagle Channel (Tierra del Fuego) were studied under controlled laboratory conditions of temperature, light cycle, food supply, and salinity. Fecundity was low, ranging from 134 to 848 eggs per female (cephalotoraxic shield length, SL, 2.3^5.0mm). Hatching ob...
متن کاملComparative analysis of the proximate and elemental composition of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus, the warty crab Eriphia verrucosa, and the edible crab Cancer pagurus
The proximate composition and element contents of claw muscle tissue of Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) were compared with the native warty crab (Eriphia verrucosa) and the commercially edible crab (Cancer pagurus). The scope of the analysis was to profile the chemical characteristics and nutritive value of the three crab species. Elemental fingerprints showed significant inter-specif...
متن کاملCloning, characterization, and developmental expression of a putative farnesoic acid O-methyl transferase in the female edible crab Cancer pagurus.
Farnesoic acid methyl transferase (FAMTase) catalyzes methylation of farnesoic acid to yield the crustacean juvenoid, methyl farnesoate (MF). A full-length cDNA encoding a 275 amino acid putative FAMTase has been isolated from the mandibular organ of the female edible crab (Cancer pagurus) by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in conjunction with cDNA library screening. A high degr...
