Crustaceans also exhibit a range in ability to biotransform PAHs. A study with the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) found that this species was able to extensively metabolize PAHs (naphthalenes, fluorene, and benzo-[a]pyrene) and produce high concentrations of metabolites (Lee et al. 1976). Conversely, Burns (1976) found that another crab (Uca pugnax) possessed a very weak, uninducible microsomal MFO system for metabolizing xenobi-otic hydrocarbons. It was noted that this species was very sensitive to oil pollution because of its limited ability to metabolize hydrocarbons. The larval spot shrimp (Pandalus platyceros) only weakly metabolized naphthalene with 9%-21% of the total " C-naphthalene in tissues present as metabolites (Sanborn and Malins 1977). Contrary to this, fairly extensive biotransformation of naphthalene was demonstrated for the copepod Calanus helgolandicus by Corner et al. (1976) and Harris et al. (1977).
