In this study, the microstructure, components, and mechanical properties of the dactylopodites of the Chinese mitten crab were investigated. Images from a scanning electron microscope show that the dactylopodites’ exoskeleton was multilayered, with an epicuticle, exocuticle, and endocuticle. Cross sections and longitudinal sections of the endocuticle revealed a Bouligand structure, which contributes to the dactylopodites’ mechanical properties. The main organic constituents of the exoskeleton were chitin and protein, and the major inorganic compound was CaCO3, crystallized as calcite. Dry and wet dactylopodites were brittle and ductile, respectively, characteristics that are closely related to their mechanical structure and composition. The findings of this study can be a reference for the bionic design of strong and durable structural materials. Keywords: dactylopodite; microstructure; composition; mechanical properties 1. Introduction After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the functional properties of parts of organisms tend to have optimal structural and material characteristics, as well as excellent adaptability and longevity [1,2].

  • How to Become a Crab: Phenotypic Constraints on a Recurring Body Plan

For over 140 years, convergent evolution of the crab-like body plan (with a wide and flattened shape, and a bent abdomen) at least five times in decapod crustaceans has been known as ‘carcinization’. The repeated loss of this body plan has been identified as ‘decarcinization’. We offer phylogenetic strategies to include poorly known groups, and direct evidence from fossils, that will resolve the pattern of crab evolution and the degree of phenotypic variation within crabs. Proposed ecological advantages of the crab body are summarized into a hypothesis of phenotypic integration suggesting correlated evolution of the carapace shape and abdomen. Our premise provides fertile ground for future studies of the genomic and developmental basis, and the predictability, of the crab-like body form. Keywords: Crustacea, Anomura, Brachyura, Carcinization, Phylogeny, Convergent evolution, Morphological integration 1 © 2020 by the author(s).

Received: 26 September 2018; Accepted: 26 October 2018; Published: 29 October 2018 Abstract: We examined the food preference of Chinese mitten crabs, Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), under food shortage, habitat choice in the presence of predators, and cannibalistic behavior by comparing their response to the popular culture plant Elodea nuttallii and the structurally more complex Myriophyllum verticillatum L. in a series of mesocosm experiments. Mitten crabs were found to consume and thus reduce the biomass of Elodea, whereas no negative impact on Myriophyllum biomass was recorded. In the absence of adult crabs, juveniles preferred to settle in Elodea habitats (appearance frequency among the plants: 64.2 ± 5.9%) but selected for Myriophyllum instead when adult crabs were present (appearance frequency among the plants: 59.5 ± 4.9%). The mortality rate of mitten crabs in the absence of plant shelter was higher under food shortage, primarily due to cannibalism.

  • Prospects of Red King Crab Hepatopancreas Processing: Fundamental and Applied Biochemistry
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 12 September 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202009.0263.v1 Article Prospects of Red King Crab Hepatopancreas Processing: Fundamental and Applied Biochemistry Tatyana Ponomareva 1, Maria Timchenko 1, Michael Filippov 1, Sergey Lapaev 1, and Evgeny Sogorin 1,* 1 Federal Research Center "Pushchino Scientific Center for Biological Research of the RAS", Pushchino, Russia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-915-132-54-19 Abstract: Since the early 1980s, a large number of research works on enzymes from the red king crab hepatopancreas have been conducted. These studies have been relevant both from a fundamental point of view for studying the enzymes of marine organisms and in terms of the rational management of nature to obtain new and valuable products from the processing of crab fishing waste. Most of these works were performed by Russian scientists due to the area and amount of waste of red king crab processing in Russia (or the Soviet Union). However, the close phylogenetic kinship and the similar ecological niches of commercial crab species and the production scale of the catch provide the bases for the successful transfer of experience in the processing of red king crab hepatopancreas to other commercial crab species mined worldwide. This review describes the value of recycled commercial crab species, discusses processing problems, and suggests possible solutions to these problems. The main emphasis is placed on the enzymes of the hepatopancreas as the most highly salubrious product of waste processed from red king crab fishing.

  • The Immune System in Crustaceans – Potential to Control Commercially
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by e-Prints Soton The scope of the crustacean immune system for disease control Chris Hauton Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography Centre Southampton, University of Southampton Waterfront Campus, European Way, Southampton, SO14 3ZH, [email protected] Ph: +44 (0)2380 595784 Fx: + 44 (0)2380 593059 Abstract The culture or wild capture of marine and freshwater shellfish, including crustaceans, is without doubt a key source of protein for a burgeoning world population. Historically the expansion of aquaculture has, however, been accompanied by the increased incidence of economically significant diseases, most notably of viral and bacterial origin. Since the late 1970s great progress has been made in our understanding of the generalized protostome innate immune system. Distinct pathways, pathogen receptor proteins and effector molecules have since been identified that are not ancestral or homologous to those of the deuterostomes, including vertebrates. Within the past decade progress has accelerated with the rapid characterisation of new classes of recognition proteins, immune effectors and regulatory pathways. This paper provides a broad overview of our current understanding of invertebrate immunology, taking the crustacean decapod immune system as its focus. Recent developments in the field are described briefly and their implications and potential considered. These advances offer fundamental new insights in our efforts to understand disease in cultured populations and also to develop knowledge of environmental effects on host/pathogen interactions within a fishery context. Of course, challenges do remain, including the lack of an immortal cell line and the limited publically-available genomic resources.

  • Chinese Mitten Crab
    SPECIES AT A GLANCE Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis) Notch Four spines Hairy claws The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a burrow­ ing crab that has a catadromous lifecycle, meaning it spends the majority of its life in the freshwater reaches of coastal watersheds, and reproduces and develops in brackish and saline estuaries. This crab can significantly transform the aquatic ecosystems it invades, through its intensive burrowing activities and high-density popula­ tions, which alter food webs and the physical habitat.
