For image-forming animals generally it has been found that reduction of the light-time fraction in the light/dark cycle results in enlargement of the F-log I contour for response to flicker and in movement of the curve to lower flash intensities. 1 The asymptotic maximum of the curve is directly proportional to the percentage dark-time, and the abscissa of inflection (T') of the F-log I probabi...

During a study of Rickettsiales-like organisms (RLO) in Pecten maximus gill, histological observation of free RLO in hemolymph led us to consider interactions between the pathogen and the hemocytes. Firstly, the production of oxygen radicals by hemocytes was established using a luminolenhanced chemiluminescence method with zymosan as stimulant. The effects of several inh~bitors of oxidative met...
