Callinectes

In one biosensor design, the chem preceptive nerve fibers of the anteimules of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus are coimected to a micropipet electrode. This assembly has been termed a receptrode (2). The receptrode created from Callinectes sapidus responds to the presence of amino acids (1) (qv) in concentrations as low as 10 M. 

The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catches in the Chesapeake Bay have been measured [64] for the years 1922-1976 A.D., see figure 20. We have made a Fourier transform of the yield in millions of pounds per year (1 million pounds = 454 metric tonnes) versus years into amplitude versus period in years, see figure 21 and find principle cyclic periods of 8.6, 10.7, and 18.0 years.
