Abstract
Influences of acclimation to winter, winter stresses (5°C, severe hypoxia) and reacclimation to summer conditions (20°C, normoxia) on life-history traits and energy allocation were determined in small and large Nephelopsis obscura. Acclimation to winter did not affect feeding but resulted in decreased growth and enhanced energy allocation to glycogen (GN), triaclyglycerols (TAG) and total lipid (TL). Winter stresses resulted in a significant decrease in GN, TAG and TL which were subsequently rapidly replenished in both small and large N. obscura. 3. Even with very low feeding rates during winter stresses energy derived from GN, TAG and TL was adequate to maintain body weight
