“…In contrast to other crustaceans, Artemia was reported to possess only one type of hemocyte (Martin, personal communication;Lockhead and Lockhead, 1941), an observation supported by the work described herein. These cells exhibited many granules, some of which were partly extracted during fixation.…”

“…In Isopoda, lobules were described inside the connective tissue in the last 2 thoracic and abdominal segments; in Amphipoda, bilateral lobules were identified in the head; in Stomatopoda, lobules were detected at the ventral artery surface; and in Cumacea, bilateral lobules were detected at the fifth thoracic segment (Bruntz, 1907). In Artemia, HPT was identified bilaterally at the base of each limb (Lochhead and Lochhead, 1941).…”

“…For example, studies in the branchiopod Artemia (the brine shrimp) have shown that this species only possesses granular hemocytes (Lochhead and Lochhead, 1941;Martin et al, 1999). Hemocytes in Artemia show similarities to amebocytes in primitive chelicerates, such as Limulus polyphemus and Tachypleus spp., except for the expression of proPO in Artemia hemocytes (Martin et al, 1999).…”

Crustacean hemocytes are important mediators of immune reactions, and the regulation of hemocyte homeostasis is of utmost importance for the health of these animals. This review discusses the current knowledge on the lineages, synthesis and differentiation of hemocytes in crustaceans. Hematopoietic tissues, their origins, and the regulation of hematopoiesis during molting, seasonal variation and infection are discussed. Furthermore, studies concerning the molecular regulation of hemocyte formation in crustaceans are also described, and the different lineages and their molecular markers are discussed and compared with several insect species. Signaling pathways and the regulation of hematopoiesis by transcription factors are typically conserved among these arthropods, whereas cytokines and growth factors are more variable and species specific. However, considering the great diversity among the crustaceans, one should be cautious in drawing general conclusions from studies of only a few species.2

“…However, a certain similarity between the MCF and the hepatopancreas of ostracods and the blood-forming organs can be found here. In Artemia and Branchipus so far poorly defined nodules consisting of loosely accumulated rounded cells differing in size and surrounded by a connective tissue were described (Lochhead & Lochhead, 1941).…”
