      Aqueous extracts were prepared from various parts of the crab Pilimnus vespertillo at three different dose levels: 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/g. The extracts were tested for toxicity using the standard mouse assay. Cheliped muscle extracts were observed to be toxic to mice at dose levels 5 and 10 mg/g, with an average death time of 27 and 3 minutes, respectively. Extracts from abdominal muscles showed lethal activity only at 10 mg/g.
