Food Habits of Juvenile Marine Fishes Occupying Seagrass Beds in the Estuarine Zone near Crystal River, Florida
TL;DR: Quantitative gravimetric analyses of stomach contents were carried out on juveniles of 21 species of fishes that cohabit seagrass beds near Crystal River, Florida to delineate discrete ontogenetic changes in food habits in many of the species.

Stimulants of Feeding Behavior in Fish: Analyses of Tissues of Diverse Marine Organisms.
TL;DR: The major tissue components in the fishes and invertebrates are correlated with compounds previously shown to stimulate feeding behavior in 35 species of fish, including Glycine and alanine, which are also the two most frequently cited feeding stimulants in the 35 species.

Antennular chemosensitivity in the spiny lobster, panulirus argus: studies of taurine sensitive receptors
TL;DR: Taurine sensitive receptors in the antennules of the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, were identified electrophysiologically and recordings from single receptors revealed a narrow and consistent specificity when tested with taurine, t aurine analogs and derivatives, and structurally related compounds.

Chemoreception in the pigfish, Orthopristis chrysopterus: The contribution of amino acids and betaine to stimulation of feeding behavior by various extracts
TL;DR: Comparative tests of solutions containing betaine and/or the amino acids indicated that response elicitation by a particular extract could be due to one of four types of collaborative effects involving these (or other) substances.

Chemical stimulation of feeding behavior in the pinfish, Lagodon rhomboides: Characterization and identification of stimulatory substances extracted from shrimp
TL;DR: A quantitative analysis of the 20 amino acids present in shrimp extract provided specific concentrations used to prepare artificial solutions whose potencies were compared in a quantitative manner to the extract itself.
