Title: Identification of inosine and inosine 5'-monophosphate as the gustatory feeding stimulants for the turbot, Scophthalmus maximus
Abstract: 1. A simple whole-animal bioassay was developed for the study of the feeding stimulants for the turbot Scophthalmus maximus. 2. Certain nucleosides and nucleotides were found to act as specific feeding stimulants at low concentrations. 3. The following molecular features were essential for activity: (i) purine ring; (ii) oxygen function on position 6; (iii) hydrogen or amino group on position 2; (iv) hydroxyl groups on 2' and 3' positions.
