Abstract
Anatomical and histological details are here given of two organ systems, which, my experiments lead me to believe, may secrete hormones concerned in the sex reversal that overtakes all male Pandalus borealis Kroyer. The descriptions eschew any attempt at detailed cytology, and refer exclusively to prawns taken from the population of Gullmarf jord in south-west Sweden. There is reason to believe that, as with Palaemon (= Leander) serratus (cf. Carlisle, 1955), different populations may vary widely in the detailed topography of the endocrine organs, as well as in appearance, life history and growth rate (cf. Horsted & Smidt, 1956).
