Body mass-related modifications involved in starvation at pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Teleostei, Centrarchidae)
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The authors analyze the modifications observed on a population of pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758)) after a 60 days period of exposure to starvation and attempt to correlate the obtained results to other body-related characteristics, either linearly-measured (such as length, volume and density) or weight-related, in order to achieve an estimation of a weight-loss allowance for the species of interest, that may be interpreted, if of a low daily value, as an advantage in the invasion process.
