| Abstract: | Homogenates of the mandibular glands from the crayfish, Procambarus clarki, were injected into the freshwater shrimp, Caridina denticulata. These homogenates accelerated the moulting cycle of the shrimp, which strongly suggests that the mandibular glands of decapod crustaceans produce and secrete either moulting hormone(s) and thereby accelerate the moulting process, or produce a factor that activates the Y organs. |
