Role of digestive gland in the energetic metabolism of Penaeus setiferus.

From: The Biological Bulletin | Date: October 1, 1995| Author: | Copyright information

We determined the role of the digestive gland in the respiratory metabolism of Penaeus setiferus adult males as a step toward proposing a feeding schedule based on the cycle of activity the digestive gland. We measured pre- and postprandial values for oxygen consumption rate and hemolymph glucose concentrations in live animals, and oxygen consumption rate and glycogen concentration in excised digestive gland. After the animals were fed, which enhanced general metabolic activity, these indices changed. There was a high correlation between the oxygen consumption rate of the animal and the ...
