Fig 1. Values for dry weight and for carbon, nitrogen, total fatty acids and protein contents for eggs/hatched embryos of the zebrafish (D. rerio) at different stages of development.

(A) Absolute values for the different parameters per individual and (B) relative amounts of carbon, nitrogen, total fatty acids and protein normalized to respective dry weights are depicted. Symbols were connected to visualize trends. *: p < 0.05 (Dunnett’s test with 0 hpf as reference). For dry weight, carbon and nitrogen: n = 4 with 5 pooled individuals per n; for proteins: n = 5–7 with 30 pooled individuals per n; for fatty acids: n = 3–4 with 50 individuals per n; hpf: hours post fertilization. Note that the y-axis in A is divided into two sections with different scales.
