โฆ Synopsis
AJasll~et
A semi-quantitative assay is described for assessing the effectiveness of bait extxaot~ for the lobster Homarus garamarus (L.), using an extract of the squid Lo//go tndgar/s I,A~(ARCrK as a standard. Fructionation of this extract indicatgut that, while no single component was as stmmtive to lobsters as the whole, the recombination of the various componente yielded a solution which was as attractive as the original extract. It appears likely that several different classes of ehemosensory cell must be simultaneously stimulated for the initiation of feeding behaviour in the lobster.
