regulation of larval behaviour regulation of larval feeding behaviour IDOMAL:0002435 IDOMAL:0002435 The rate of food ingestion by larvae is generally enhanced by yeast extracts, nucleotides and generatl viscosity of the water. Temperature of water, larval instar and prior starvation also influence feeding rates. Larvae may also aggregate in response to gradients of temperature and nutrients within the water. idomal_namespace
