Record 2 2021-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Marine Biology
  • Crustaceans
  • Aquaculture
CONT

Vitellogenesis in decapod crustacea... has been shown to be mediated by hormones.... Female shrimps often do not mature fully, even though maturing eggs can be found in the ovaries. The maturation process seems to be inhibited by a gonad-inhibiting hormone(GIH)... The ablation(surgical removal) of eye stalks, which have the glands containing the inhibitory hormone, has been shown to accelerate vitellogenesis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie marine
  • Crustacés
  • Aquaculture
DEF

Hormone contenue dans le pédoncule oculaire de certains crustacés [décapodes] et qui inhibe le développement de la gonade.

Record 9 1994-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
  • Crustaceans
CONT

As in other crustacean groups, ... 2 groups of chemoreceptors appeared to be employed in different ways, with olfactory receptors operating in detection of water-bone stimuli and gustatory receptors functioning in the sampling of substrate-bound chemicals. Olfactory setae were typically more abundant than gustatory setae, although this was not true in all cases ... The first two stages, detection and localization, primarily involved olfactory setae, while the third, chemical characterization of the food item, was gustatory in nature ... [Source: BIOSIS database].

CONT

The ultrastructure of the so-called olfactory setae on the antennula of Daphnia magna Straus(Crustacea, Cladocera) [Source : PASCAL database].

Insects can also smell airborne chemicals, using olfactory setae, usually located on the antennae.
