Figure 1.
Total wet weight (g) of juvenile sea urchins, Lytechinus variegatus, fed one of three semi-purified, formulated diets (190, 260, or 380 g kg-1 carbohydrate and 310 g kg-1 protein). Values represent means ± SEM (n = 16 sea urchins treatment-1). Wet weight was significantly higher in those fed 190 g kg-1 carbohydrate than fed 380 g kg-1 carbohydrate (P < 0.05), but not different from those fed 260 g kg-1 carbohydrate (P > 0.05).
