Table 3.

Gut and gonad wet and dry weights (mg, ±SEM) and moisture (g kg^-1, ± SEM) content 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 ± SE (n = 16 sea urchins treatment^-1). Means with similar superscripts are not significantly different (p > 0.05).
