ABSTRACT:
Described is a process for determining excitants and attractants for members of the Penaeus genus of Crustacea including but not limited to Penaeus setiferus and Penaeus vannamei, as well as apparatus for carrying out such process. The apparatus for carrying out the process includes "static" tank apparatus, "flow through" tank apparatus and "Y-maze" apparatus, each equipped with a camera device and each taken alone or in combination with one another. Also described is a method for exciting and/or attracting members of the Penaeus genus of Crustacea including but not limited to Penaeus setiferus and Penaeus vannamei using various solutions of molecules including but not limited to N-acetyl-alpha-D-Glucosamine which is a mixture of isomers having the structures: ##STR1##
