Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The burrowing ophiuroid Amphiura filiformis (O.F. Müller) forms a stable, high density population in Galway Bay which is composed of one functional adult group containing many year classes. Recruitment rates are very low and annual somatic growth is almost entirely restricted to arm regeneration. The energy input to arm regeneration and to gonad production is estimated and respiration calculated from laboratory assays. Estimates of energy flow show that 77.4 % of energy is respired, 16% goes to arm regeneration and 6.6% to gonad output. A P:B ratio of 1.97 is obtained for the Amphiura population and this is compared with values obtained in the literature for other echinoderms. |
