Energy content at metamorphosis and growth rate of the early juvenile barnacle Balanus amphitrite

Marine Biology (2003) 143:543–554

Due to an unfortunate error the Tukey’s groups were not underlined in Tables 3, 4 and 5. The correct tables are printed below.

Table 3 Balanus amphitrite. Results of one-way ANCOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test showing the effect of early juvenile energy content (four levels) on the magnitude of growth increments up to days 2, 5 and 10 under different temperature–food combinations in experiment 2 and in experiment 3. Growth increment and initial juvenile size served as dependent variable and covariate, respectively. Data were log-transformed to meet ANOVA assumptions. In the Tukey’s test results, values are arranged from left to right in descending order, and those not significantly different (α=0.05) are connected by line. In experiment 3, batches 1 and 2 were pooled for the analysis due to insignificant interaction between larval batches (HJ high-energy juvenile; MJ medium-energy juvenile; LJ low-energy juvenile; WJ natural-energy juveniles from wild; NA data not available due to 100% mortality)

Table 4 Balanus amphitrite. Summary of ANOVA and multiple comparison test showing the effect of temperature (three levels: 18°C, 24°C and 30°C) at different levels of food concentrations on the growth increment up to days 2, 5 and 10 of different juvenile categories (HJ high-energy juvenile; MJ medium-energy juvenile; LJ low-energy juvenile; WJ natural-energy juveniles from wild). Data were log-transformed to meet ANOVA assumptions. In the Tukey’s test results, values are arranged from left to right in descending order, and those not significantly different (α=0.05) are connected by line (ns, P>0.05; *, P<0.01; **, P<0.001; NA data not available due to 100% mortality)

Table 5 Balanus amphitrite. Summary of ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison results showing the effect of food concentration (three levels: zero, 10² and 10⁴ cells ml⁻¹) on the growth increment of different juvenile categories (HJ high-energy juvenile; MJ medium-energy juvenile; LJ low-energy juvenile; WJ natural-energy juveniles from wild) at different temperatures up to days 2, 5 and 10. In the Tukey’s test results, values are arranged from left to right in descending order and those not significantly different (α=0.05) are connected by line (ns, P>0.05; *, P<0.001). On Day-10, only 2 levels (10² and 10⁴ cells ml^-1) of food concentration were used since 100% mortality occurred in all concentrations involving zero cells
