Fig. 4From: Energy acquisition strategy for reproduction in a semelparous squidFatty acid profiles of Argentinean shortfin squid. Values were determined from the squid’s ovary. a, relative amounts (mean ± SD) of selected fatty acids with maturation; b, relative amounts (mean ± SD) of main fatty acid classes. SFA, saturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; c non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of the fatty acid composition with maturation with overlaid vectors of individual fatty acids detected significant differences between stages.
