Morphological characterization of the hemocytes of the clam, Ruditapes decussatus (Mollusca: Bivalvia).
Hemocytes play an important role in internal defence in molluscs. The morphology of hemolymph cells was studied for the first time in Ruditapes decussatus. Two main types of hemocytes (hyalinocytes… Expand
