Decapod crustaceans synthesize highly active proteolytic enzymes in the midgut gland and release at least a part of them into the stomach where they facilitate the first step in peptide hydrolysis. The most common proteinases in the gastric fluid characterized so far are serine proteinases, that is,
The number of spezies of cnridean, brachyuran and unomuran decapods increases from high to low latitudes in both hemispheres. This is shown t o be due mainly t o changes in the abundance of small species. Possible explanations for these variations in abundance are discussed. The other infraorders of
