The worldwide annual production of lobster was 165,367 tons valued over $3.32 billion in 2004, but this figure rose up to 304,000 tons in 2012. Over half the volume of the worldwide lobster production has been processed to meet the rising global demand in diversified lobster products. Lobster processing generates a large amount of by-products (heads, shells, livers, and eggs) which account for ...

The nature of the olfactory receptor in crustaceans, a major group of arthropods, has remained elusive. We report that spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus, express ionotropic receptors (IRs), the insect chemosensory variants of ionotropic glutamate receptors. Unlike insects IRs, which are expressed in a specific subset of olfactory cells, two lobster IR subunits are expressed in most, if not all, l...

Lobster merupakan sumber daya alam hewani yang bermanfaat bagi manusia baik sebagai protein maupun pendapatan (ekonomi). salah satu komoditas banyak diminati, kancah bisnis lobster, menyasar pangsa pasar lokal dan dunia. dianggap punah jika ada penangkapan ikan terus menerus tidak mempertim...

in current research relationship between eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha) (% of total fatty acids) in edible tissue (muscle) of green tiger shrimp (penaeus semisulcatus) and lobster (thenus orientalis) collected from persian gulf, was investigated with some biological factors (total length, total weight and sex). results showed that in all two species, epa and dha perc...

Mammalian metallothionein (MT) is Involved in the detoxiflcation of Cd(ll) ions. It binds 7 Cd(ll) in two Cd-thiolate clusters (Cd4S11 and C3S9) which are located in two protein domains. 111Cd and 2-D NMR studies show that in lobster, two Cd3S9 domains exist. Despite homologies in the location of cysteines between the corresponding domains of the lobster and mammalian MTs (8 of the 9 cysteines ...

The objective of this study was to isolation and characterization of Listeria species and determines Listeria monocytogenes serotypes in fresh fish, shrimp, crab and lobster in Isfahan and Shahrekord, Iran. From September 2010 to April 2011, a total of 300 samples of fresh fish, shrimp, crab and lobster were obtained from randomly selected retail stores in Isfahan and Shahreko...

abstract: regular consumption of seafood has been widely recommended by the authorities. however, some species especially benthic crustaceans accumulate heavy metals. in addition, the health risks associated to the consumption of such seafood might increase if the consumers use cooking methods that enhance the concentration of heavy metals. in this study, the effects of different cooking method...

The Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, is distributed from Brazil throughout the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico to approximately North Carolina and Bermuda (Holthius, 1991). It supports major commercial fi sheries in Florida, the Caribbean and Brazil. Commercially, P. argus is especially important to the state of Florida, where the spiny lobster fi shery ranks second only to shrimp in ...

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels often play a role in sensory transduction, including chemosensory transduction. TRP channels, a common downstream target of phosphoinositide (PI) signaling, can be modulated by exogenous phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] and/or diacylglycerol (DAG). Lobster olfactory receptor neur...

BACKGROUND Ecologists, fisheries scientists, and coastal managers have all called for an ecosystem approach to fisheries management, yet many species such as the American lobster (Homarus americanus) are still largely managed individually. One hypothesis that has yet to be tested suggests that human augmentation of lobster diets via the use of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) as bait may cont...
