Table 1. Energy fluxes (
J/d) at each developmental stage. The scaled functional response is 
(
, where 1 is the highest amount of food), 
is the maximum surface-area specific ingestion rate (
, 
), 
is the maximum surface-area specific assimilation rate (
), 
is the assimilation efficiency from food to reserve (dimensionless), 
is the energy conductance rate from the energy reserve (
), 
is the volume-specific somatic maintenance cost (
), 
is the maturity maintenance rate coefficient (
). Notation: square braces ([ ]) indicate quantities related to structural volume, curly braces ({ }) denote quantities related to structural surface-area, dots ( ˙ ) indicate rates.
