Nephrops norvegicus (L.) is widely distributed in the north‐east Atlantic and Mediterranean.
The species forms burrows in muddy sediments and is found wherever conditions are …

This review focuses on the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) as a resource, describing
how the fishery has developed from the 1960s to the present day to become one of the most …

Developments during the past 20 years are reviewed for four aspects of crustacean growth.
These are the hormonal control of moulting, the effects of external factors on growth rate, the …

As is true for many fish and invertebrate fisheries, stock–recruitment relationships remain
poorly understood for most commercially important species of lobsters and crabs. This paper …

In ecological studies on freshwater crayfish, determination of basic population parameters is
often complicated by the lack of a suitable age estimation method. 2. Previously, lipofuscin …

Lipofuscln content was determined in the brains of 41 American lobsters Homarus amen-
canus (Milne-Edwards) aged 4, 13 and 27 mo reared individually at 19 to 20 C. Llpofuscin …

Krill have been viewed as difficult animals to examine experimentally. Consequently, most
information on growth and age of these pelagic crustaceans has come from demographic …

To better understand growth and age-pigment (lipofuscin) accumulation rates of the blue
crab Callinectes sapidus under natural conditions, juveniles (33 to 94 mm carapace width) …

In this study, lipofuscin was examined in the eyestalk ganglia of tagged European lobsters
Homarus gammarus released into the wild at Scapa Flow, Orkney. Scotland, at …

Peracarid crustaceans are among the most important taxa in terms of biodiversity and
carbon-flow within the Weddell Sea benthos; however, very few data on their age, growth …
