...Louis D. Zeidberg SUMMARY Juvenile and adult Loligo opalescens Berry were video taped in Monterey Bay with the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Ventana ,captured with an otter trawl in Santa Monica Bay, California, and adults were taken from the Monterey Bay fishery. Behavioral observations were...

... can be ranked from coldest to warmest as follows: Loligo opalescens>Loligo pealei>Loligo plei>Sepioteuthis sepioidea . Action potential conduction velocities and rise times,recorded at many temperatures, were equivalent for all Loligo species, but significantly slower in S. sepioidea...

... of the lower molecular masses observed. One conserved set of peaks corresponds to the FMRFamide-related peptides (FRPs). The Loligo opalescens FMRFa gene has been sequenced. It encodes a 331 amino acid residue prohormone that is processed into 14 FRPs, which are both predicted by the nucleotide sequence...

...H. Neumeister; B. Ripley; T. Preuss; W. F. Gilly ABSTRACT In Loligo opalescens , a sudden visual stimulus (flash) elicits a stereotyped, short-latency escape response that is controlled primarily by the giant axon system at 15 °C. We used this startle response as an assay to examine the effects...
