“…It has been suggested that growth may be limited by digestive processes (Blier et al 1997). To sustain higher growth rates during compensatory growth, the expression of digestive enzymes, such as trypsin, may be fuelled by ATP from the activity of oxidative metabolism enzymes, such as AAT, HOAD, and CS.…”

“…During early life, the failure to meet nutritional needs because of inefficient or poorly developed ingestion, digestion, or assimilation processes will result in impaired growth, starvation, reduced viability, and ultimately death (Blier et al 1997;Bureau et al 2002). Thus, it has been suggested that complete functionality of the digestive organs (i.e., the availability of digestive enzymes and of key metabolic enzymes) could set substantial physiological limitations on the growth and (or) survival of juveniles (Blier et al 1997;Lemieux et al 1999;. Accordingly, fast relative growth of the digestive organs was observed during early life in Dentex dentex, indicating the priority of the development of these organs for growth and survival (Santamaria et al 2004;Sala et al 2005).…”

We investigated activity levels of metabolic and digestive enzymes in Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) and their relationships with growth, ration level, and type of food during the first 50 days after hatch. Newly hatched wolffish were divided among three experimental groups differing in feed and ration (formulated feed in excess (FF), a maintenance ration of Artemia (LA), and Artemia in excess (EA)) that generated different growth rates. A principal component analysis revealed that activities of the glycolytic enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and pyruvate kinase (PK) were associated with mass gain, while those of the aerobic enzymes citrate synthase and aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), and digestive enzymes (lipase and trypsin) were related to time (days) after hatch. Food restriction or food type allowed the observation of a direct relationship between the activities of trypsin and those of associated metabolic enzymes AAT and glutamate dehydrogenase in the LA group (Pearson's R of 0.71 and 0.59, respectively), as well as between the activities of amylase and those of LDH and PK (Pearson's R of 0.62 and 0.48, respectively) in the FF group. The adaptative importance of these patterns during early development of wolffish and their relationship to feeding conditions are examined. Résumé: Les effets de la croissance, du stade de développement, du type d'aliment et de la restriction alimentaire sur le niveau d'activité de certaines enzymes métaboliques et digestives ont été évalués chez le loup Atlantique (Anarhichas lupus) durant les 50 jours post-éclosion. Des taux de croissance différents ont été atteints avec succès chez des loups nouvellement éclos en utilisant une combinaison de différents types d'aliments et de taux d'alimentation: moulée commerciale en excès (FF), Artemia faible ration (LA) et Artemia en excès (EA). Une analyse en composantes principales a révélé que l'expression des enzymes glycolytiques (lactate déshydrogénase (LDH) et pyruvate kinase (PK)) est associée au gain en masse, alors que le développement des enzymes du métabolisme aérobie (citrate synthase et aspartate aminotransférase (AAT)) et des enzymes digestives (lipase et trypsine) est plus corrélé au temps depuis l'éclosion (exprimé en jours post-éclosion). La restriction alimentaire et le type d'aliment ont permis l'observation d'un lien direct entre l'activité de la trypsine et les deux enzymes associées, AAT et glutamate déshydrogénase (Pearson's R de 0,71 et 0,59, respectivement chez le groupe LA) et entre l'amylase, la LDH et la PK (Pearson's R de 0,62 et 0,48, respectivement). Les patrons de développement des enzymes en fonction des conditions nutritionnelles sont examinés en fonction de la stratégie adaptative. Lamarre et al. 856

“…Pauly (1981Pauly ( , 1997Pauly ( , 1998 has argued for the universality of asymptotic growth patterns described by the well-known von Bertalanffy equations based on solid body geometric principles by which surface areas for exchange decline faster than the volumes serviced. This concept has recently been questioned for fish (Blier et al, 1997), but is even less relevant for squid growing as tubes. We will focus on actual measurements of scale changes in cephalopod geometries and Euclidian logic to investigate whether the surface area to volume relationships, applied quite legitimately to solid-bodied vertebrates, are appropriate to squid and, by analogy, a wide range of invertebrates.…”

“…Thysanoteuthis rhombus feeds almost exclusively on schools of sardine in South African waters (LIPIÑSKI, own, unpublished data), and follows these schools closely. The squid moves rather slowly, despite its very thick and muscular mantle, so it has a relatively larger body volume compared to an average neritic squid (see BLIER et al 1997 for the argument concerning the speed of movement vs. growth).…”

The role of various hard structures of fish and cephalopods as living archives is briefly reviewed, and the role of the cephalopod statolith as an archive of age is treated in more detail. The statolith deposition hypothesis is considered as a complete validation tool (in contrast to the more common partial validation). The hypothesis emphasises the role of crystallisation stabilisers (such as Sr) early on, reaction switchers (such as pH) which are the deposition engines, and regulators-linkers (such as proteins) which control runaway crystallisation and are responsible for species-specific shapes and other individual details. Implications of deposition-oriented approach and research for understanding of growth and application of growth studies are also discussed.
