ABSTRACT:
A method for inducing the setting of planktonic bivalves onto a substrate is disclosed. Planktonic bivalves, which have reached the competent pediveliger stage, are exposed to certain 1-substituted-3,4-dihydroxylbenzenes at a sufficient concentration to induce setting. The preferred concentration is at least about 10.sup.-8 M with no upper limit and the preferred compound is 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine.
