Contamination of marine environment by antidepressants may affect neurophysiological processes in non-target organisms, such as the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis. The present study tested whether environmentally realistic concentrations of antidepressants, i.e., fluoxetine alone (5 ng·L-1 ) or cumulated with venlafaxine (2.5 or 5 ng·L-1 each), affect camouflage in newly hatched cuttlefish. Results show that antidepressants improve uniform body patterns, while disruptive body patterns were not affected. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
