The gastropods Urosalpinx cinerea (Say) navigate through their habitat using chemical sensing to locate their prey. Major prey include barnacles, oysters, and mussels. This paper reports relationships of attractant concentration and flow as they affect snail discrimination of flow and chemical cues. Directionality, flow rate and concentration all affected snail responses to chemical attractant. Responses of snails to attractant alone or to flow alone were negligible. Responsiveness increased with increases in flow rate and attractant concentration until levels were reached above which responsiveness was constant. With equal flows, differences in concentration of attractants had to be 3-fold or greater before drills would discriminate between them. Flow rates and attractant concentrations in the range where neither alone had elicited drill response did not elicit response when combined. |
