Fig. 3From: Temporal dynamics of amino and fatty acid composition in the razor clam Ensis siliqua (Mollusca: Bivalvia)Main saturated fatty acid, main monounsaturated fatty acid and respective fractions (SFA, MUFA) contents between April 2010 and February 2011. A Palmitic acid, B stearic acid, C saturated fatty acid fraction, D oleic acid, E vaccenic acid, F monounsaturated fatty acid fraction. Values are means of triplicate samples (±SD). Different superscript letters represent significant differences between months (P < 0.05) and should be interpreted as exemplified in Fig. 1 caption. Temporal evolution in gonad development stages as determined by Gaspar and Monteiro (1998) is presentedBack to article page
