Figure 5


Fig. 5. Developmental trends in the TH of body fluids of G. acuticeps larvae. (A) Serum MP (squares) and FP (circles) of larvae collected and reared in 2002 and 2003. (B) Intestinal fluid MP (triangles) and FP (squares) of the 2002 cohort only. Intestinal fluid MP is partially dependent on feeding status, which may account for the decrease in FP in the oldest larvae. (C) Serum TH did not increase significantly from 0 to 30 d.p.h. For larvae ≥30 d.p.h., TH was positively correlated with age, increasing by 0.008°C per day (linear regression, r2=0.77). (D) Intestinal fluid TH; TH did not change significantly throughout the intestinal fluid sampling period (84 d.p.h.). For G. acuticeps, the yolk-sac is completely absorbed by about 15 d.p.h. The broken line (A,B) indicates the seawater temperature at the time of hatch (-1.91°C). Values are means ± s.e.m. (serum samples, N=132; intestinal fluid samples, N=75).
