From: Comparison of the body proximate compositions of juvenile bronze gudgeon (Coreius heterodon) and largemouth bronze gudgeon (C. guichenoti) in the upstream region of the Yangtze River

Figure 5

Relationships between wet body mass ( M , g) and energy content ( E kJ g -1 ) of C. heterodon ( E = 2.27 M 0.242 , r 2 = 0.667, n = 53, P < 0.01) and C. guichenoti ( E = 6.55 M 0.0511 , r 2 = 0.219, n = 118, P < 0.01). The empty circle and dotted curve indicate C. heterodon; the solid circles and curve indicate C. guichenoti. The grey lines indicate the two-line regressions between E and M of C. guichenoti. For the fish smaller than transition point (19.1 g), the regression was E = 6.12 + 0.165M (r 2 = 0.705, n = 50, P < 0.0001), while for the bigger fish, the regression was E = 8.13 + 0.00000809M (r 2 = 0.508, n = 68, P > 0.05).
