| Summary: | A study has been made of the chemical nature of feeding stimulants for juvenile European eels, Anguilla anguilla . Mixtures of L‐amino acids were stimulatory, while neither the corresponding. D‐amino acids nor the non‐amino acid components were effective. Synergistic effects were observed both between L‐amino acids and between L‐amino acids and non‐amino acid constituents. The results are discussed in the context of results obtained from electrophysiological and behavioural studies with other species. |
