Role of depleted initial energy reserves in early benthic phase mortality of six marine invertebrate species.

3.3 Ability to recover after delayed feeding for EBP invertebrates The duration of starvation experienced before being offered food had a significant or nearly significant effect on the percent of individuals able to recover (i.e., survive and grow during the 30 days feeding period) for C. dalli (Linear regression: F = 17.56, n = 6, R 2 = 0.81, p =.014) and N. ostrina (F = 7.08, n = 6, R 2 = 0.64, p =.056) (Figure 7 ).

trossulus and Petrolisthes spp ., the relationship was not quite significant, likely due to the modest sample sizes, as only two batches of individuals were collected for each of these species, whereas 5–9 replicate batches were examined in each of the other four species.
