The nauplius eye in Cyclestherida, Laevicaudata and Spinicaudata (previously collectively termed Conchostraca) consists of four cups of inverse sensory cells separated by a pigment layer and a tapetum layer. There are two lateral and two medial cups, a ventral medial cup and a posterior medial cup. The pigment and tapetum layers contain two different kinds of pigment granules, the inner pigment layer relatively large, dark (and electron dense) granules, and the outer tapetum layer light, reflective pigment granules. The presence of four cups and two different kinds of pigment granules are interpreted as autapomorphies of Phyllopoda. The position and shape of the nauplius eye in Spinicaudata is very distinct and herein interpreted as an autapomorphy of this taxon. Additional frontal eyes might be present dorsally or ventrally in varying proximity to the nauplius eye, but they have separate nerves from their sensory cells to the nauplius eye centre in the protocerebrum. Rhabdomeric structures are present in all these frontal eyes, evidencing their light sensitivity. In Lynceus biformis and L. tatei (Laevicaudata), two pairs of frontal eyes were found. In Cyclestheria hislopi (Cyclestherida), an unpaired ventral frontal eye is present. We did not find additional frontal eyes in Limnadopsis parvispinus and Caenestheriella sp. (Spinicaudata).

Cryopreservation of aquatic embryos or larvae is needed to help safeguard genetics from important wild and captive species, increase aquaculture output, and meet the global demand for protein. To this end, the development of a cryopreservation protocol for nauplius larvae of the commercially important aquaculture species Litopenaeus vannamei, or Pacific White Shrimp, was pursued. Toxicity screening was performed using multiple cryoprotective agents (CPA), and a multi-constituent CPA cocktail was developed to achieve reliable vitrification of shrimp larvae encapsulated in 1.

Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on the development of compound eyes in decapod crustaceans, specifically examining gene expression from the nauplius to the zoea stage in Neocaridina denticulata sinensis using RNA sequencing.
- - Key findings include the identification of enriched pathways involved in phototransduction and hormone biosynthesis, along with high expression of molting-related neuropeptides and significant cell proliferation prior to eye development.
- - The functional analysis revealed essential processes such as cuticle formation, muscle growth, and immune system establishment, along with the discovery of critical genes related to eye field determination, differentiation, and visual signaling.
Hsp70 Knockdown in the Brine Shrimp Artemia franciscana: Implication on Reproduction, Immune Response and Embryonic Cuticular Structure.

The potential functional role(s) of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, a crucial crustacean species for aquaculture and stress response studies, was investigated in this study. Though we have previously reported that Hsp70 knockdown may have little or no impact on Artemia development, the gestational survival and number of offspring released by adult females were impaired by obscuring Hsp70 synthesis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that several cuticle and chitin synthetic genes were downregulated, and carbohydrate metabolic genes were differentially expressed in Hsp70-knockdown individuals.
