Table 5 Energetic equivalents of the physiological rates measured for each diet. Data showed the average of 10 P. rudis individuals ± standard error. CR is the clearance rate expressed as L h− 1, IR is the ingestion rate as J h− 1, AE is the percentage of absorption of the food ingested, AR is the absorption rate expressed in J h− 1, RR is the respiration rate as J h− 1, and SFG is the scope for growth and also expressed as J h− 1. All physiological rates have been related to the estimated meat dry weight of each individual
