Dietary intake by the crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus and its energy storage: GSI, HIS in North Inlet Estuary, Georgetown, SC during 2012 (Variation in Metabolic Processes project)

<p>Laboratory experiment used to examine the link between dietary intake by the crab <em>Hemigrapsus sanguineus</em> and its energy storage. This dataset reports&nbsp;gonadosomatic index (GSI), or the proportion of body weight comprised of the ovary and&nbsp;hepatosomatic index (HIS), or the proportion of body weight comprised of the hepatopancreas.</p>
