I think the reason you have not had a reply to your message is that it is
not precise enough. Broadly speaking the postmortem biochemistry of shrimp
is not different, at least qualitatively, from that of fin fish, or indeed
from that of land animals. There are differences in relative rates of enzyme
reactions so that rates of catabolism and metabolism of specific chemicals
will differ between species, but the same compounds are formed and lost. I
do not have a copy of the book 'Chemistry and Biochemistry of Marine Food
Products', edited by Martin, R.E., Flick G.J., Hebard C.E. & Ward D.R.
(1982), Avi Publishing Co., Westport, Connecticut, ISBN 0-87055-408-5, to
check, but I would expect it to have the information you are looking for.
However, I do not think you are seeking information the about biochemistry
of shrimp just as an academic study; there must be a reason for your
request. Perhaps if you would let us know what the problem is, or be more
specific about what aspect of the postmortem biochemistry you are interested
in, you might get relevant information.

Subject: postmortem changes in shrimps
Dear List:
Any reply to my enquiry?. I would like to know if
someone has any information about biochemical changes
in the postmortem of the shrimps by ice slush.
