Zinc and Cadmium in the Haemolymph of the Shore Crab, Carcinus maenas


	And now the science bit....
	My love of the crab comes from four years of working with the shore crab, Carcinus maenas in the heart of the east end of London. What follows are links to the abstract and conclusions of each chapter of my PhD thesis.
	Haemocyanin - Introduction
	Abstract
	*The kinetics of the essential metal zinc in the haemolymph of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas.*
	*The kinetics of the non-essential metal cadmium in the haemolymph of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas.*
	*Haemocyanin, and the transport of zinc and cadmium in the haemolymph of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas.*

	This research was carried out at Queen Mary, University of London, whilst in receipt of a NERC studentship.
