Table 1.

Size, amount of hemolymph extracted, and mortality in the four female bled groups.

Treatment Prosomal Width (cm) Extracted Hemolymph Volume (mL) Estimated Percent Extraction Total Mortality Percent Mortality
Lab Running Wheel 17.5 ± 0.8 28.9 ± 4.7 15.5 ± 2.5 1 14
Lab Unrestrained 18.9 ± 0.3 47.6 ± 7.0 21.0 ± 3.0 1 14
Outdoor Unrestrained 19.1 ± 0.4 64.4 ± 2.8 28.1 ± 1.1 0 0
Lab Communal Tank 18.4 ± 0.4 29.0 ± 4.9 14.2 ± 2.4 3 42

Values are mean ± SEM; n = 7 per group. Estimated percent extraction determined by comparing actual amount extracted to expected hemolymph volume, calculated using prosomal width.
