Effects of eyestalk ablation on the concentration of taurine in various organs of the shore crab Carcinus maenas (L.) (Decapoda: Brachyura)

Physiological actions of taurine

“…Among the invertebrates. marine arthropods and molluscs are, in general, high in taurine (15,16,160,430,607,616,772,794). Concentrations have been reported to range from 12 pmol/g wet wt in an unidentified species of shrimp to 41 pmol/g wet wt in a clam (600).…”

Changes in the plasma free amino acid profile of the Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus at different stages of infection by a parasitic dinoflagellate (genus Hematodinium)

“…In crustaceans, taurine mimics the inhibitory actions of gamma-aminobutync acid (GABA) and affects cardiac rhythm (Payen et al 1981, Zatta 1987. Glutamate also has pharmacological activity at low concentrations (Lin & Cohen 1973), and is maintained at trace concentrations (0.04 pm01 ml-') in the plasma of uninfected Nephrops norvegicus (Fig.…”
