Abstract:

Polychaetes provide an excellent food resource for fish and represent the dominant zoobenthos in marine ecosystems. Diel variation in the rates of metabolism and ammonia-N excretion of Marphysa sanguinea were studied. The worms were grouped according to their wet body weight into small (S; 1.24±0.06 g), medium (M; 4.00±0.30 g), and large (L; 8.54±1.08 g) categories. Their weight-specific metabolic rates, based on aerobic respiration (R), were measured at 16℃ (±0.2℃) and classed as either routine (R_R) or standard (R_S) rates. Both respiration types decreased with increasing body weight. Respiration was described by R=aW^b, where b was -0.400 9 and -0.532 0 for R_R and R_S, respectively. Diurnal changes in R_S for each group was relatively flat, with a slightly increasing trend with time, but was relatively stable as a whole. R_R of the diurnal variation of worms was higher than R_S, but both had similar overall trends. The peak values of specific dynamic action (SDA) (R_SDA) in the S, M, and L groups were 2.704, 1.149, and 0.682 mg/(g·h), respectively. The durations of SDA were 13, 6, and 6 h, respectively and the energy expenditures of SDA were 377.98, 117.34, and 74.94 J/g, respectively. These data indicate that the metabolic rates were higher in smaller individuals, which is advantageous for their rapid growth.

Key words: Marphysa sanguinea|diel variations|metabolism|ammonia-N excretion|SDA
