 Abstracts, vol. 27, No. 11, p. 4174-B. 



The seasonal quantitative and qualitative 

 variations in hemolymph protein in females 

 appear to be closely related to egg produc- 

 tion. Serological studies indicate that at 

 least one of the hemolymph proteins is 

 used directly in the formation of yolk 

 proteins.

 Abstract only. 



Qualitative and quantitative variation in the 

 hemolymph proteins. Muscle, heart, 

 hepatopancreas, whole hemolymph and 

 serum were incubated with leucine-C^ in 

 various culture media, and rates of incor- 

 poration of radioactivity into total protein 

 were determined.

 logically identical to oocyte lipovitellin. 

 Developmental Biology, vol. 20, No. 1, p. 

 1-17. 



A gradual increase in hemolymph Cu and 

 protein concentrations in females was 

 coincident with ovarian growth followed 

 by their decrease when the sponge was 

 formed. Oocyte lipovitellin and a lipo- 

 protein from hemolymph serum, found 

 only in adult females, had the same mobili- 

 ties and staining reactions when subjected 

 to vertical starch gel electrophoresis and 

 were indistinguishable immunochemically.

 nutritive values of king crab, Paralithodes 

 camtschatica, and blue crab, Callinectes 

 sapidus. Fishery Industrial Research, vol. 5, 

 No. 3, p. 121-131. 



King crab meal and blue crab meal were 

 evaluated as to their chemical composition 

 (proximate composition, amino acids, 

 minerals, and glucosamine) and nutritive 

 value when fed to chicks. Both species had 



high mineral content and relatively high 

 nutritive value.

The respiratory rate of the intact blue crab 

 (one of four species studied) in dilute sea 

 water compared to that in normal sea water 

 increased 53 percent; in excised gills, the 

 rate increased 10 percent in crabs collected 

 from sea water and 30 percent in those 

 from brackish water. In sea water, gill 

 respiration of brackish water blue crabs was 

 significantly higher than that of marine 

 blue crabs. 



1966. Oxidative activity of crab gill mito- 

 chondria as a function of osmotic concentra- 

 tion. Comparative Biochemistry and 

 Physiology, vol. 17, No. 1, p. 245-258. 



The blue crab was one of four species 

 studied. The specific activity of the gill 

 mitochondrial enzymes increased 200 to 

 300 percent on diluting the medium from 

 1.6 to 0.16 osmoles. Oxygen consumption 

 of blue crab gill mitochondria increased 75 

 percent (brackish -water crabs) or 35 per- 

 cent (marine crabs) with a similar decrease 

 in osmolarity. A subsequent increase in the 

 osmolarity of the medium reversed the 

 increase in enzyme activity and oxygen 

 consumption.
