Postembryonic development in crustaceans

甲殻類の後胚発生現象の解明/Postembryonic development in crustaceans

Crustaceans show diverse larval forms across species and undergo significant morphological changes through molting. Our research aims to uncover the cellular dynamics within the cuticle during this process. Understanding this phenomenon not only offers scientific insight but may also benefit shrimp and crab aquaculture. Focusing on a small, easily bred freshwater shrimp, we have successfully conducted long-term live imaging during molting and are now working toward establishing shrimp molecular genetics. This will allow us to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying these cellular processes.
