Abstract

Mature ovaries of the shore crab Carcinus maenas contain large concentrations of three major ecdysteroids which we have identified by physicochemical methods as ecdysone, 20-hydroxyecdysone and ponasterone A. The fluctuations of ovarian and blood ecdysteroid concentrations are presented in relation to the various stages of ovarian development.
