Glycolytic activity in crustaceans

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1970
Abstract 1. 1. The specific activities of the glycolytic enzymes in crustacean muscle are comparable to those found in rat liver, except that the ratio of glyceraldehyde-3-dehydrogenase to lactic dehydrogenase was greater in crustacean muscle (≅3 : 1) than in rat liver (1 : 4·5) or rat muscle (1 : 1·45). 2. 2.

A total of 11 planktonic species of Crustacea was found — six of them common to all the lochs.

2014
This chapter deals with the chronology, systematics, and symbolism of artistic representations of crustaceans.

The oldest figure of a crustacean known at the time of this writing seems to concern spiny lobsters in an Egyptian painting of the 18th Dynasty.
