The southern king crab (SKC) Lithodes santolla is an important commercial species in southern South America. Fishing pressure has caused the deterioration of its stocks. Currently, culture techniques are being developed for producing SKC juveniles to enhance the natural population and to recover the fishing stock.

- The study investigates how three decapod species (Cherax quadricarinatus, Palaemon argentinus, and Munida gregaria) utilize energy reserves during starvation, despite similar feeding habits.
- Over a 15-day period, the researchers monitored changes in the midgut gland index and levels of glycogen, lipids, and proteins in response to food deprivation.
- Findings revealed that P. argentinus mobilized reserves more effectively, while M. gregaria showed the least utilization, highlighting the influence of habitat and metabolic differences on energy reserve management in crustaceans.
