During the course of its embryonic development, the European lobster Homarus gammarus
Linnaeus exhibits progressive increases in content of water (54.0 to 83.1%), ash (2.7 to …

During the course of its embryonic development, the Canadian lobster Homarus americanus
Milne-Edwards exhibits steady increases in water content (56.2 to 86.8%) and ash (5.8 to …

The eggs swell during their development, evidently from the absorption of water across the
surface of the embryo. The internal pressure thus generated bursts the outer egg membrane …

This paper provides the basis for a general model of catabolic metabolism for developing
embryos and yolk-sac larvae of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.). Yolk-dependent routine …

The present investigation quantifies the partitioning of yolk enthalpy (C) into production of
biomass (P), dissipation due to metabolism (R) and losses associated with excretion of …

This paper presents quantitative data for the changes in the contents of total lipids, lipid
classes and their associated fatty acids, together with the changes in caloric contents of …

Eggs of halibut [Hippoglossus hippoglossus (L.)] have a negative buoyancy in sea water of
35‰ S, in contrast to eggs of most flatfish species. The cause of this was investigated. The …

To better understand the early life history stages of the American lobster Homarus
americanus, nutritional and bioenergetic aspects of development have been investigated …

Measurements have been made of the rate of turnover of tritiated water in the eggs of the
plaice, Pleuronectes platessa and of the permeability of the vitelline membrane. The rate …

Measurements of yolk osmolality from the embryo of cod Gadus morhua L. revealed
significant variations in the hyposmolality during the embryonic development. The embryo …
