Table 1.
Amino acid profile from control diet used to equilibrate the isotopic signature of S. lalandi and used by the control group.
Table 2.
Total weight loss and crude fat content from muscle and liver tissues of S. lalandi before and after 35 days under starvation (n = 3) compared to the fed group (control).
Initial samples were pool together (n = 6).
Table 3.
Fatty acids content in muscle and liver tissues (g/ 100g tissue) and net change (g and percentage) of S. lalandi after 35 days of starvation.
Net change per fatty acids was calculated based on the total initial amount and that after 35 days of starvation.
