 thesis, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, 

 303 p. 



Histological survey of the male reproduc- 

 tive system; androgenic gland and testis of 

 normal and infested (sacculinid parasite) 

 males; transplantation of androgenic 

 glands, testes, or gland and testicular tissues 

 into females; transplantation of ovaries into 

 males; extirpation of androgenic glands 

 from immature males; effects of castration, 

 various suspending media, and mammalian 

 hormones on crab tissues. A second section 

 describes a water system developed for 

 these studies.

 11-deoxycorticosterone by the androgenic 

 gland of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus 

 Rathbun). General and Comparative Endoc- 

 rinology, vol. 12, No. 1, p. 171-173. 



A study to determine if the androgenic 

 gland of the blue crab contained steroid 

 biosynthetic enzymes. It was found that 

 this gland can convert progesterone to 

 11-deoxycorticosterone.

1964. A possible androgenic gland in Callin- 

 ectes sapidus, Rathbun. American Zoologist, 

 vol. 4, No. 4, p. 383. Abstract only. 



An elongated gland, 200-300 fi wide, that 

 appears to be holocrine in nature was 

 observed on the posterior vas deferens of 

 the blue crab. The gland and gland cells are 

 described for immature and mature crabs.

 Atlantic crabs. Biological Bulletin (Woods

This work is not on blue crabs, but results 

 of other studies on the levels of glucose and 

 reducing substances in C. sapidus carrying 

 egg sponges are presented for comparison. 

 Irrespective of the glucose level in the blue 



crab, its ratio to total reducing substances 

 was constant.

 tion in striated muscles of the blue crab, 

 Callinectes sapidus Rathbun. Ph. D. thesis, 

 University of Maryland, 1968. Dissertation 

 Abstracts, vol. 27, No. 7, p. 2612-B. 



The leg adductor muscle of the blue crab 

 was studied with respect to the nature of 

 the resting membrane potential of the 

 muscle fiber and the ionic distributions 

 that contribute to this potential. Crab 

 muscle was characterized by a Donnan-like 

 distribution.

 of shellfish. 1. Method of analysis and pre-

 trial Research, vol. 2, No. 3, p. 11-15. 



To test a method for determining choles- 

 terol content, eastern and southern blue 

 crabs and six other species of shellfish were 

 analyzed. A seasonal difference in the total 

 cholesterol content of body meat of blue 

 crabs was noted.

 Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 

 vol. 17, No. 4, p. 1065-1078. 



The body meat, claw meat, and offal 

 material varied in amount of protein amino 

 acids and nonprotein ninhydrin-positive 

 compounds. There were significant dif- 

 ferences in the content of certain individual 

 amino acids in the three types of material 

 analyzed.
