Abstract

The haemolymph protein and copper concentration of Ocypode platytarsis has been studied in three size groups of males and females separately. These haemolymph constituents have been analysed in greater detail in relation to the sex and sex differences of Ocypode platytarsis with a view to find out the impact of sexual maturity and habitat of males and females on the haemolymph protein and copper constituents.
