文摘

Norepinephrine inhibits B. neritina attachment, while phentolamine augments it. Norepinephrine increases swimming behavior, while phentolamine decreases it. B. neritina larvae possess adrenergic-like receptors. B. neritina larvae possess endogenous octopamine-like immunoreactivity. Phentolamine reduces the inhibitory effects of light on B. neritina attachment.
