| Zusammenfassung: | (1) Analysis of the feeding response of P. fimbriatus indicates 2 phases; transfer by the marginal tentacles to the mouth, and ingestion. (2) Transfer by the marginal tentacles can be activated by direct mechanical stimulation or by stimulation of the labial tentacles by a water-soluble compound present in Artemia homogenate. (3) Arginine acts as a chemical activator of ingestion. |
