Vitellogenesis induction by this particular fraction was equiva-
lent to that observed in eyestalk-ablated animals (Table 3). The
lipid fraction was the next in order of importance, but the propor-
tion of shrimps attaining maturation was lower (about one-third
of the HAS fraction). Paradoxically the treatments involving
fresh squid (SQ and basal diet + SQ) generated only very weak
responses. The protein fractions evoked a response comparable

the differences. One of these factors is dominance. Indeed there is
