## Abstract Muscle fiber types were examined in lobsters using sarcomere length measurements. In the adult, the slender cutter claw was comprised of fast and slow fibers, while the broader crusher contained only slow fibers. In the juvenile lobster, both the cutter and crusher contained fast and sl
## Abstract The structural and biochemical properties of the opener muscle and the impulse pattern of its single excitatory motoneuron differed between the paired cutter and crusher claws in the lobster, __Homarus americanus__. The soma of the opener excitor (OE) motoneuron was physiologically iden
Marine shrimp of the genus Alpheus exhibit a remarkable reversal of asymmetry in their great claws. This unique phenomenon includes transition of the closer muscle in one claw from a muscle of mixed fiber type into a homogeneous slow muscle. We have developed monoclonal antibodies that specifically
