Fig. 3. (A) Fractional rates of whole-animal protein synthesis (k_s, % day^-1, mean ± S.E.M., N=5) of L. vannamei shrimps starved for 6 days or for 24 h, and at various times (h) after being offered a single meal of diet 1. (B) RNA:protein concentrations (µg RNA mg^-1 protein; means ± S.E.M., N=5) of whole L. vannamei shrimp starved for 6 days or 24 h, and at various times (h) after being offered a single meal of diet 1. Values annotated with the same superscript are not significantly different at the P<0.05 level.
