METHOD FOR DETERMINING PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF CYPRIS LARVA OF BARNACLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple method for determining the physiological activity of the cypris larva of a barnacle. SOLUTION: The method for determining the physiological activity of the cypris larva of the barnacle includes the step of irradiating the cypris larva of the barnacle with exciting light and the step of detecting the distribution pattern of the fluorescence emitted from the irradiated cypris larva. Since the self-luminous fluorescence distribution pattern of the cypris larva of the barnacle reflects the physiological activity of a larva individual to change, the obtained fluorescence distribution pattern is compared with the fluorescence distribution pattern of a normal individual to determine the physiological activity of the cypris larva.
