Proportion of carbon and nitrogen, energy/dry mass, and C/N ratio (±SD) of eggs and larvae, measured at the beginning and at the end of the reproductive season. Data from beginning pooled from seasons 2002–2003 and 2003–2004; data from Mar Chiquita (MC) and San Antonio (SA) pooled, except C/N of larvae (because differences between populations were significant)
