ABSTRACT The effects of neuroactive compounds on larval metamorphosis of the Japanese short neck clam Ruditapes philippinarum (Heterodonta. Veneddaet were investigated by exposing pediveligers to acetylcholine, serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), carbamylcholine, and succinylcholine at concentrations of 1. 10, and 100 [micro]M. Larval metamorphosis with 100 [micro]M serotonin was 80.7%, and that with 10[micro]M and 100 [micro]M a...

The Biological Bulletin ; Introduction Queen conch, Strombus gigas, are marine benthic gastropods found in seagrass beds and sand flats throughout the tropical Atlantic (Randall, 1964; Brownell and Stevely, 1981). As juveniles, conch occur primarily in seagrass beds of medium shoot density and in surrounding sandy areas
