Notes:
Olfactory sensitivity of juvenile (0 year) Atlantic cod Gadus morhua to 20 L-amino acids was studied by recording electroencephalograms (EEG) from the olfactory bulb. Leucine, methionine, asparagine, glutamine, alanine and threonine were highly stimulatory; proline, phenylalanine, aspartic acid and tryptophan were the least stimulatory. Threshold concentrations determined for four amino acids were 10−8 M for alanine, 10−7 M for arginine and leucine and 10−6 M for glutamic acid.
