Body composition of zebrafish larvae before and after temperature stress exposure.

Abstract

<p>Notes: 1) Zebrafish larvae at 96 hpf were exposed to 16, 28 or 34°C for 48 h. Samples exposed to different treatments were designated as 28°C -96 hpf, 16°C -48 h, 28°C -144 hpf and 34°C -48 h, respectively. 2) Data (µg/individual) are given as means ± standard deviations. The number of samples is displayed in parenthesis. 3) The numbers of individuals used for the measurement of wet mass, dry mass, protein, lipid and glycogen are 80, 80, 1, 20 and 20 respectively. 4) Different letters in the same row indicate statistically significant differences determined by ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test or Dunnett’s T3 test (<i>p</i><0.05).</p
