Abstract
Previous studies on the significance of dissolved organic compounds in the nutrition of the smaller species of the phylum Pogonophora (Little & Gupta, 1968, 1969; Southward & Southward, 1968, 1970) were handicapped by lack of information about the levels of free amino acids in the tissues. In this brief note we give preliminary results for four species, using a modification of the technique described by Clark (1964, 1968, 1973) to estimate the amino acids in extracts of the whole body.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
