| changes in lipid and fatty acid composition of late larval and puerulus stages of the spiny lobster (panulirus cygnus) across the continental shelf of western australia. | the feeding of the late larval stages of the spiny lobster, panulirus cygnus, and the energy reserves used by the non-feeding post-larvae for crossing the continental shelf of western australia were examined through their lipid composition. lipid was a significant component of the biomass of all larval and post-larval samples (range 63-213 mg g(-1) of dry biomass). the fatty acid profiles of late stage larvae (8-9) suggest that they were feeding on salps and small crustaceans, such as euphausids ... | 2006 | 16361110 |
