Résumé

Pour le stimulant acoustique entre 10 et 150 Hz les seuils de réponses ont été obtenus sur 5 homards (Homarus americanus). La plus grande sensibilité était de 37,5 Hz pour une pression de — 13 db re: 1 bar, ou bien de 75 Hz pour une rapidité de particules de 19 db re: 1 var, conditions classiques réalisées pour obtenir en bradycardie un si haut seuil tonal de stimulation.
