Effect of eyestalk removal on linear growth and water uptake during the molt cycle of the crab, Hemigrapsus nudus (DANA)
When eyestalks are removed from Hemigrapsus nudus at least 10 days before ecdysis, linear growth of the destalked animals, measured as an increase in carapace width after ecdysis, is significantly higher than the linear growth of the unoperated control animals. The amount of water that control and d...
