[Variations in the lipids of the ovary, the hepatopancreas, and the hemolymph of the female crab Pachygrapsus marmoratus Fabricius (Decapoda, Brachyoura) during the intermolt cycle].

The intermolt cycle disturbs the hepatopancreas and ovary lipid content of Pachygrapsus marmoratus in some experimental conditions. The total lipids, phospholipids, triglycerides and cholesterol concentrations increase during the intermolt in the hepatopancreas whereas they decrease at the same stage in the ovary. Hemolymph and ovary lipid components show the same variations.
