✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Three types of muscle fiber were recognized in the leg flexor muscle of Carcinus maenas on the basis of histochemical staining for the oxidative enzyme NADHD and analysis of fiber cross‐sectional area. The distribution of these fiber types within the muscle is described. The oxidative capacity and cross‐sectional area of the fiber was correlated with the fiber type determined physiologically.
