Characterization of esterase patterns in hepatopancreas of three species of Macrobrachium (Palaemonidae)

► Characterize the esterase isozymes of hepatopancreas of three Macrobrachium species. ► Contribute to a better knowledge of esterase polymorphism in hepatopancreas. ► Compare the expression of esterasic enzymes from different species. ► Classify the role of the esterases in hepatopancreas metabolism of this group.
