Fig. 5. Correlative cost of protein synthesis in embryos (open circles), unfed
larvae (open squares) and fed larvae (filled squares) of L. pictus.
Cost of protein synthesis was calculated from the slope of the relationship
between protein synthesis and metabolic rate. The broken line is the
regression of metabolic rate and protein synthesis for all stages of
development studied (embryos, unfed and fed larvae). Slope of
regression=8.41±0.49 J mg-1 protein;
r2=0.95; N=17). Solid line is regression for fed
larvae alone=7.69±1.36 J mg-1 protein;
r2=0.91; N=5).
