Fatty acid composition and ultrastructure of photoreceptive membranes in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii under conditions of thermal and photic stress
The ultrastructural state of the crayfish visual membrane is correlated with its fatty acid composition during times of photic and thermal stress and the period over which the dynamic events occur is investig...

A survey of 3-dehydroretinal as a visual pigment chromophore in various species of crayfish and other freshwater crustaceans
3-Dehydroretinal (vitamin A2 aldehyde) was found in the eyes of three species among 10 species of freshwater crayfish examined. Since dark-adapted eyes contained the 11-cis form of 3-dehydroretinal, this compound...
