 Scientific Report No. 13, 103 p. 



The megalops of blue crabs were found 

 widely in the upper reaches of the Neuse 

 and Pamlico Rivers, N.C., during a 2-year 

 plankton survey in these estuaries. The 

 samples showed ample evidence of migra- 

 tion into estuaries during the megalops 

 stage and that the recruitment period 

 extends from April to December.

 and Stomatopoda (Crustacea) from the Medi-

 Research Station, Haifa, Bulletin No. 45, p. 

 32-64. 



The last two zoeal stages of the blue crab 

 occurred in six of 22 plankton samples 

 (1955-56) from the Israel coast.

 tion from crabs. Science, vol. 162, No. 3851, 

 p. 375-376. 



The first time that proteolytic strains of C. 

 botulinum Type F have been isolated in the 

 United States. Two strains were obtained 

 from gills and viscera of two blue crabs.

 invertebrate sera. Science, vol. 127, No. 3297, 

 p. 519-520. 



The serum proteins of 14 species of 

 decapod Crustacea, two species of Arach- 

 noidea, and two species of Mollusca were 

 separated. Representative electrophoretic 

 patterns are illustrated. The pattern of the 

 blue crab was unlike that of two other 

 portunids, which indicates the need for 

 caution when correlating morphology with 

 serum protein patterns.

 an economic analysis. University of North 

 Carolina, Bureau of Business Service and 

 Research, School of Business Administration, 

 Chapel Hill, 153 p. 



A section on processing crab meat deals 

 with the general nature of the blue crab 

 fishery, statistics of the fishery (1929-53) 

 compared to those in Chesapeake Bay, and 

 the problems of the processing of crabs. 

 The North Carolina industry reportedly 

 cannot obtain its full potential without 

 improvement in managerial talent and tech- 

 niques.

1965. A study of the crustacean axon repeti-

 sodium, calcium (magnesium), potassium and 

 hydrogen (pH) in the external medium. 

 Journal of Cellular and Comparative Physi- 

 ology, vol. 65, No. 2, p. 211-228. 



Several hundred single-fiber preparations 

 dissected from the walking limbs of the 

 blue crab and the lobster, and the ventral 

 nerve cord of the lobster, were used to 

 determine the effect of various ions on the 

 repetitive response of the crustacean axon 

 and to relate these effects to the trans- 

 membrane electrical parameters, membrane 

 potential, resistance action potential, and 

 current.
