Abstract
We did not observe the reported alarm reaction of the top smelt Atherinops affinis (Ayres) when presented with a methanol extract of whole top smelt; we interpret the reaction as an experimental artifact. Rather, a methanol extract of top smelt is an attractant, as is methanol extract of shrimp.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
