B-cells and digestion in the hepatopancreas of penaeus semisulcatus (Crustacea: Decapoda)

Abstract
The current nomenclature for cells in the hepatopancreas of decapods is based on the classification of Jacobs (1928) and Hirsch & Jacobs (1928). They described the E-(embryonic), F-(fibrillar), B-(blister-like) and R-(resorptive or absorptive) cells. More recently the M-(midget) cell has been described (Al-Mohanna, Nott & Lane, 1984).Accounts of the structure of these cells are reviewed by Gibson & Barker (1979) and the B-cells most closely resemble those described and illustrated in this paper for the period 24 h after feeding.
