Maia squinado

A limited amount of information is available on the formation of metabolites of aromatic hydrocarbons in aquatic invertebrates however, some studies have elucidated the structures of conjugated and non-conjugated derivatives produced in these organisms. The bioconversion of naphthalene by the spider crab (Maia squinado) has been studied by Corner et al. (45). These workers identified...
