Abstract

An optimized method, using polyclonal antibodies in an immunoassay, for prey detection in the diet of paralarvae of South African Loligo reynaudii is described. The study has increased the specificity of the antisera by determining the optimum antiserum dilutions and the detection limits of the antisera. Unfed laboratory-hatched paralarvae (negative control) were exposed to antisera and showed cross-reactions with polychaete antiserum.
