Abstract
The closer muscle in the paired asymmetric claws of adult snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochelis is composed of 100% slow fibers in the major or snapper claw and a central band of fast fibers flanked by slow in the minor or pincer claw. Removal of the snapper claw induces the existing pincer to transform over the next several molts into a snapper. During this process there is a selective degeneration of the central band of fast fibers in the transforming closer muscle.
