THE USE OF CHEMICAL CUES BY SARGASSUM SHRIMPS LEANDER TENUICORNIS AND LATREUTES FUCORUM IN ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A SYMBIOSIS WITH SARGASSUM ALGAE

A mutualistic symbiosis exists between the alga Sargassum spp. and two shrimp species, L. tenuicornis and L. fucorum. But little is known about how the shrimp locate their host alga.
