| Summary: | ow nloaded from tween unfed and fed larvae were 14.42 mW and 24.12 mW, representing an increase in met-abolic cost of feeding by a factor of 1.67 over the first 4 weeks of larval life. That the metabolic cost of feeding increased with development and remained elevated suggests that cod larvae allocate a large part of their energy budget to growth in order to meet the demands of their fast growth rates. |
