Ammonium content and buoyancy in midwater cephalopods
The majority of squid families (Teuthoidea: Cephalopoda) exchange sodium for ammonium, creating a low-density fluid that imparts lift for neutral buoyancy. However, previous methods for measuring ammonium did not distinguish between NH4 + and various other amine compounds. The present study, using single column ion chromatography, reassessed the cation concentrations in several midwater cephalo...
متن کاملObservational learning does not explain improvement in predation tactics by cuttlefish (Mollusca: Cephalopoda).
When first presented with live crab prey, naive cuttlefish typically approached from the front and were often pinched. In subsequent trials, this initial group rapidly improved their prey capture techniques and attacked from above or behind the crab. Naive cuttlefish that first watched experienced conspecifics prey on crabs captured crabs without getting pinched. However, naive cuttlefish that ...
متن کاملPredation in two species of leech under laboratory conditions
Two 60 day experiments on predation behavior of leeches were conducted concurrently. In the first, medicinal leeches, Hirudo orientalis (Utevsky and Trontelj, 2005) were fed to satiation on bovine blood and subsequently transferred into two large opaque plastic containers of equal size but with differing temperatures, 6-7?C and 23-24?C, containing starved Erpobdella octoculata (L.). At the high...

chalcogramma) stocks in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska since 1979. As fisheries acoustic methodology has matured, acoustic research at the APSC has involved refinements in equipment and techniques. Whereas early echosounders and echo integrators were subject to the drifts associated with the use of analogue electronic circuitry and were limited by system dynamic range, modern units utilized ...
