Abstract
A direct immunofluorescent antibody test revealed the presence of American lobster, Homarus americanus, egg yolk protein in the alimentary tract of the nemertean Pseudocarcinonemertes homari. Nemerteans that had been in contact with lobster eggs demonstrated strong fluorescence in the area of the sections identified as the intestinal diverticula, while those nemerteans that had not been in contact with lobster eggs did not. This provides the first direct evidence that P. homari actually consumes lobster egg yolk.
