dietary preference and digestive enzyme activities as indicators of trophic resource utilization by six species of crab.the digestive physiology and stomach contents of six crab species from a variety of habitats were investigated to provide an indication of their digestive capability and dietary preferences. stomach contents varied between species, but the key enzymes present were generally consistent with the types of dietary material being ingested. nectocarcinus integrifons (red rock crab) consumed large quantities of seagrass and had high cellulase activity (0.02+/-0.004 units mg-1) to digest the constituent ...200515713811
substance p antibody reveals homologous neurons with axon terminals among somata in the crayfish and crab brain.in the search for particular neurons that stain selectively and can be identified, the cerebral ganglia (brains) of the crayfish cherax destructor and the crab leptograpsus variegatus were immunocytochemically treated with a monoclonal antibody raised against substance p. four large neurons in the cerebral ganglion of the crayfish and crab label selectively with a monoclonal antibody raised against substance p. two of the large neurons have their cell bodies in the protocerebrum and two in the d ...19901692854
