FEASIBILITY STUDIES LEADING TO THE STUDY OF OLFACTION IN ELASMOBRANCHS BY REMOTE CONTROL.

Abstract

Techniques for the study of olfaction in elasmobranchs have been considered and apparatus which would allow for the stimulation and observation of an untethered shark is described. A remotely controlled stimulus system was constructed and tested. Devices for the detection and transmission of physiological responses in the shark are described but they have not yet been tested in an experimental animal. No evidence which would preclude the study of olfaction by remote control and observation techniques has developed in this initial investigation. (Author)
