Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how three decapod species (Cherax quadricarinatus, Palaemon argentinus, and Munida gregaria) utilize energy reserves during starvation, despite similar feeding habits.
  • Over a 15-day period, the researchers monitored changes in the midgut gland index and levels of glycogen, lipids, and proteins in response to food deprivation.
  • Findings revealed that P. argentinus mobilized reserves more effectively, while M. gregaria showed the least utilization, highlighting the influence of habitat and metabolic differences on energy reserve management in crustaceans.
