Biochemical composition and energy allocation in the tropical scallop Lyropecten (Nodipecten) nodosus during the months leading up to and following the development of gonads
2001-07-01
Abstract excerpt
We quantified biochemical constituents of the major body components of the scallop Lyropecten nodosus (initially measuring 9.4 mm in shell height) cultured at 8, 21 and 34 m in depth in the Golfo de Cariaco, Venezuela, to evaluate the allocation and mobilization of energy in the organisms during periods of somatic and gonadal growth, and during periods of environmental stress. A marked decrease in muscle carbohydr...
