Ultrastructure studies of the extracellular filaments in the ventral nerve of Panulirus argus
The ventral nerve cord of the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus was examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Tannic acid mordant stain was used to enhance extracellular filaments. The ventral nerve cord is surrounded by an unusual perineurial sheath composed primarily of interwoven extracellular filaments.

Tail Fan Necrosis syndrome in decapod crustaceans: A review
Abstract Lobsters and crayfish in Australasia can develop a condition known as Tail Fan Necrosis (TFN syndrome). Many attempts have been made to find a primary pathogen or link the syndrome to commercial activities, but a solution remains elusive. TFN syndrome is a ‘wicked problem’, a problem difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete and ...
