Disease relevance of Crangonidae

Effect of speciation on uptake and toxicity of cadmium to shrimp Crangon Crangon (L.) [1].

High impact information on Crangonidae

Mg(2+) acts as an anaesthetic in marine invertebrates and its level is higher in Reptantia (crabs such as Cancer spp., Chionoecetes spp., Maja spp., 30-50 mmol l(-)(1)) than in Natantia (prawns such as Pandalus spp., Palaemon spp., Crangon spp., 5-12 mmol l(-)(1)) [2].
Published LC(50) values indicate that freshwater crayfish are more tolerant than marine decapods, Crangon septemspinosa and Mysidopsis bahia, to Thiodan insecticide and Treflan herbicide [3].
Accumulation of PCB by Crangon septemspinosa is directly related to PCB concentration in sediment and inversely related to animal size [4].
Presence and significance of lithium in the brown shrimp, Crangon crangon (L.) [5].
Metabolic pathways of ammoniogenesis in the shrimp Crangon crangon L.: possible role of glutamate dehydrogenase [6].

Biological context of Crangonidae

The oxidative deamination of glutamate by glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) was determined in crude homogenates of the shrimp Crangon crangon [6].
