Title Influence of temperature on the starvation threshold of nauplii of barnacle Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)

Description 69-72
An evaluation of starvation threshold of the newly hatched Balanus
amphitrite nauplii (instar; II) has been made at three different
temperatures (5, 15 and 25°C). Earlier studies on starvation in crustacean
larvae demonstrated Point of No Return (PNR) as an index of starvation. PNR is
the state from which no larvae exposed to stress conditions can recover and complete
metamorphosis. In this-study Ultimate Recovery Point (URP) has been used as a
new index of starvation threshold. URP denotes the number of hours of
starvation after the end of which larvae can recover and continue development.
Larvae starved at 5 and 25°C had URP of 204 hand 24 h respectively. The larvae
starved at 5°C for 12 h showed reduced II instar duration (1 d) compared to
control II instar duration (1.8 d). At 15 and 25°C reduction in instar
duration was not evident.
