For the examination of chemical stimulants involved in the searching behaviour, each solution of the amino acids, proteins and saccharides was dropwise added to water in a tank holding an individual. To identify the substance that stimulates the prawn during the process of ingestion, each of the amino acids, proteins and saccharides was mixed individually with curdlan to make pellets of uni-composition. As a result, the chemical property of the receptors associated with the searching showed a more selectivity to amino acids, especially arginine and glycine, than to saccharides. Reversely, for ingestive response, some protein such as casein and gelatine as well as saccharides, glucose and starch, were more stimulative than amino acids.}, pages = {201--205}, title = {Chemoreceptive Property in Feeding of the Prawn Penaeus japonicus}, volume = {36}, year = {} }
