Abstract

Some properties of gonad-inhibiting hormone (GIH) from the eyestalks of male Cancer magister have been examined with normal and eyestalkless female Crangon crangon as test animals. GIH is neither sex- nor species-specific, is thermostable and is dialyzable through cellophane membranes. It has a molecular weight of about 2000.
