Resumen

Se analizó la composición bioquímica de tejidos del ovario y hepatopáncreas de poblaciones naturales de Uca longisignalis and Uca nr. minax durante la época reproductiva. Se cuantificaron lípidos totales (concentración y contenido), C (carbono), N (nitrógeno), y los cocientes C:N del ovario y hepatopáncreas durante el proceso de maduración del ovario. Los lípidos y la concentración de C variaron significativamente durante el curso de maduración del ovario en ambas especies, pero no se encontró ninguna relación entre la concentración o contenido de lípidos del hepatopáncreas con el estadío de desarrollo del ovario en hembras. Tampoco se encontró ninguna diferencia en los lípidos del hepatopáncreas y la concentración de C entre sexos de la especie Uca nr. minax. La demanda de lípidos durante la maduración del ovario, parece ser aportada en gran parte por un incremento en la dieta diaria y no solamente por la translocación de reservas de lípidos desde el hepatopáncreas. En ambas especies, Uca longisignalis y U. nr. minax, el color del hepatopáncreas puede ser usado como un indicador de los niveles de lípidos y C en el hepatopáncreas. Los tejidos del hepatopáncreas con color amarillo-cadmio y amarillo-limón tuvieron las más altas concentraciones de lípidos. No se encontró ningúna evidencia para demostrar que la disminución en la concentración de lípidos y C en el hepatopáncreas es concomitante con la maduración del óvulo.
