Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a major neurotransmitter that triggers the spawning of bivalve molluscs and oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) of oocytes. The present study employed [ 3 H] 5-HT binding assay to characterize a putative receptor on oocyte membranes prepared from scallop
