Individual wet mass (A) and relative water content (B) of whole embryos and yolk-sac larvae (filled triangles), dissected larval bodies (yolk-free animal) (open triangles), starved larvae (open circles), fed larvae (filled circles) and selected adult tissues (columns) of Clarias gariepinus. Note that wet mass of fed larvae refers to the right-hand axis in A. Values are means ± S.D. of 89 samples (A) or three samples (B), except at 0h post-fertilization (N=2, ± range). CYA, complete yolk absorption.
