Metabolic depression and whole-body response to enforced starvation by Crassostrea gigas postlarvae

Z Garcı́a-Esquivel, VM Bricelj, H Felbeck - Comparative Biochemistry and …, 2002 - Elsevier
Physiological and biochemical measurements were performed on six oyster (Crassostrea
gigas) cohorts, in order to:(a) investigate the whole-body response (growth, energy content,
metabolic and excretion rates) of 2-week-old postlarvae (spat) to enforced (0–8 days)
starvation, and (b) test the potential use of three aerobic enzyme systems as indices of
physiological condition. Starvation resulted in exponential reduction of postlarval metabolic
and excretion rates, as well as a linear decrease in enzyme activity. These response …
