According to today's New Scientist 4/4/98:
Prozac may soon bring smiles to the faces of mollusc farmers. A biologist
in Pennsylvania has found that this type of antidepressant can make
freshwater calms and mussels spawn. Apparently serotonin can stimulate
spawning.
Now I know why Saris put a smile on your face (and a wet patch in your
trousers?) ;-)
