Fig. 6. The proportion of CPSase II and CPSase III occurring in toadfish
developmental stages, which include egg II (1020
dayspost-fertilization), yolk-sac larvae I (17 days post-hatch),
yolk-sac larvae II (814 days post-hatch) and juveniles (yolk-sac
completely absorbed; <16 mm TL). Developmental stages were
collected in Biscayne Bay and immediately frozen with liquid N2.
Statistically different groupings (ac) from one-way ANOVA
post-hoc analysis are presented above bars for each group of
developmental stages. Values are means +
S.E.M.,
=0.05 and N=6 for
each developmental stage.
