Abstract
The free amino acids present in the muscle of several
species of prawns and in lobster (Panulirus dassypus)
and crab (Neptunus pelagicus) have been examined
qualitatively by paper chromatography. Six among
the eleven spots present have been identified as lysine,
arginine, glycine, proline, valine and leucine. An
overall similarity in the chromatographic pattern
among the several species has been observed. The
implications of the results in the application of paper
chromatography to species differentiation in the Crustacea
have been indicated.
