Metabolism and chemical composition of phyllosoma larvae, with special reference to the tropical rock lobster Panulirus ornatus (Decapoda; Palinuridae)

Rates of oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion and chemical composition (water, ash and CN composition) were determined throughout larval development, from Stages I–IX, of Panulirus ornatus phyllosoma larvae raised in the laboratory. Dry mass (DM) specific oxygen consumption rates varied from 1.4...
