Extract

The general morphology of the antennary and maxillary glands, which form the major renal system of adult Crustacea, has been described and reviewed by Goodrich (1945). However, studies on the fine structure are restricted mainly to the antennary glands of decapods, including Orcotiectes sp. (formerly Cambarus sp.) (Anderson & Beams, 1956; Beams, Anderson & Press, 1956), Orconectes affinis (Kümmel, 1964), Procambarus clarkii (Miyawaki & Ukeshima, 1967; Schaffner & Rodewald, 1978), Procambarus blandingi (Peterson & Loizzi, 1974), Austropotomobius pallipes pallipes (Riegel & Cook, 1975) and Uca mordax (Schmidt-Nielsen, Gertz & Davis, 1968). The maxillary gland of Artemia salina is the only excretory system of a non-decapod which has been studied in detail (Tyson, 1968, 1969a, b). Morelli & Tobolla worked independently on the antennary glands of amphipods, Gammarus sp. (cited Kümmel, 1973), but their studies were restricted to the site of filtration.
