Abstract

The attractability of two meals of marine origin and one of unicellular origin in juveniles of Ambystoma mexicanum was determined, evaluating their feeding behavior using a "Y" shaped device to carry out the tests. The results showed that fish and shrimp meals were more attractive than Spirulina maxima meal (p < 0.05). In conclusion, fish and shrimp meals are good attractants for formulating specific diets for the Mexican axolotl.
