Neurotoxin tetrodotoxin as attractant for toxic snails

The attracting effect of a small dose of tetrodotoxin (TTX) on eight toxic snail species (Polinices didyma, Natica lineata, Natica vitellus, Zeuxis sutfflatus, Niotha clathrata, Oliva miniÃcea, Oliva mustelina and Oliva hirasel) and two non-toxic species (Pomacea canaliculata and Satsuma bairdi) was...

Zusammenfassung:The attracting effect of a small dose of tetrodotoxin (TTX) on eight toxic snail species (Polinices didyma, Natica lineata, Natica vitellus, Zeuxis sutfflatus, Niotha clathrata, Oliva miniÃcea, Oliva mustelina and Oliva hirasel) and two non-toxic species (Pomacea canaliculata and Satsuma bairdi) was investigated. Each toxic snail species was determined to contain TTX. The minimum lethal dose of TTX for most toxic snails was estimated to be >44.5 Microg TTX/2O g body weight, but for non-toxic snails it was
