Loss of meal antigenicity during digestion in Sepia officinalis (Cephalopoda: Sepioidea)

Some of the limits to the use of serology to identify prey species in the digestive tracts of cephalopods have been evaluated. Cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, were given meals of krill slurry (Euphausia superba). Protein extracts of contents from four regions of the digestive tract, stomach, caecum,...
