Figure 2 | Physiological changes of A. erythraeaover time under different diets and treatments. (A) Respiration rate.
The significance test for respiration rate was a t-test between the
toxic group and the non-toxic group on the same day. (B) Ingestion rate.
The field group represents copepods that have not been cultured in the
laboratory. The significance test for ingestion rate is a t-test
comparing the toxic/non-toxic group with the field group. (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p <
0.001). (C) The non-toxic and toxic groups represent copepods fed
exclusively with P. brasiliana and P. cuspidata ,
respectively. The Non-toxic+Anti and Toxic+Anti groups received the same
algal diet with the addition of antibiotics. The hungry group consists
of copepods that were not provided with an algal supply.
