Abstract
Dynamic Energy Budget software aims to identify simple quantitative rules for the organization of metabolism of individual organisms. It is always used to delineate reserves, as separate from structure. The energy density of Eriocheir sinensis was studied through DEB software in this paper. The results showed that Hepatopancreas energy density (32.17±3.77 KJ/g) was higher than gonad (23.19±2.86KJ/g), muscle (24.41±1.41 KJ/g) and carapace energy density (14.42±1.76 KJ/g). The difference between gonad (23.19±2.86KJ/g) and muscle energy density (4.41±1.41 KJ/g) of females and males was significant (P < 0.01), but not between muscle and carapace energy density (P > 0.05), and no difference between female and male individual in total energy (P = 0.887) at the stable stage. The linear relation between volume and weight of Eriocheir sinensis was gained by using regression analysis, V=6.104+1.117WW (R2=0.973, n=98), and the linear relation between total energy and dry weight was also gained, E=18.12DW-28.05 (R2=0.962 ,n=24).
