Growth of the redclaw crayfish C. quadricarinatus.

(A) Body mass of the juveniles after the end of the restriction period and after the end of the recovery period. (B) Specific growth rate of the redclaw crayfish C. quadricarinatus after 45 days of daily feeding (recovery period). Temperature regimes: 23±1°C, 27±1°C and 31±1°C and feeding regimes: DF (juveniles fed daily throughout the experimental period) and CF (juveniles fed for 4 days followed by 4 days of food deprivation, intermittently during the first 45 days of the experimental period, and fed daily from day 45 to day 90). Letters “x,y,z” indicate significant differences among temperatures. Asterisk indicates significant differences between feeding regimes.
