[Eyestalk removal and intensive regeneration: joint effects on the molting cycle of Pachygrapsus marmoratus (Crustacea, Decapoda), variability of the critical regeneration stage].

When eyestalk-removal and pereiopod-removal, followed by intensive regeneration, are realized together on the same animal, their accelerative effect on the moulting rate is lower than the effect of only one of these two processes. The critical stage of pereiopod regeneration varies between the moulting stages C4 to D1 according to the physiological state of the Crab.
