[Coagulation of hemolymph in Crustacea. Electrophoretic demonstration of a plasmatic component in the course of hemostasis in a group A crustacean (Cancer pagurus)].

Coagulation assays in vitro of plasmatic extract from Cancer pagurus reveal the existence of a plasmatic coagulation in this species which was considered as yet as lacking a such process. Electrophoretical analysis of this extract before and after coagulation shows the presence of a plasmatic component probably involved in the formation of the clot.
