摘要

We investigated aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARS) activity and individual growth rate (IGR) as individual-based in situ indicators of growth in adult krill, Euphausia pacifica. AARS enzymes catalyze the first step in protein synthesis while the IGR method is based on changes in body length during molting. Growth rates of field-collected krill were measured via the IGR method and individuals were subsequently preserved for AARS analysis to yield paired measurements. Our results show that conditions during the IGR incubation period influenced AARS activity in these individuals precluding a direct comparison but revealing the different timescales across which these two measures integrate. Importantly, they show that AARS activity provides a snap-shot image of an organism's metabolism, while IGR of krill is thought to integrate their environmental experience over several days. Each method would require repeated measurements to estimate population growth rates integrated over seasonal or generational time scales. As part of this project, we investigated how specific the AARS assay is to protein synthesis by testing a modified protocol that includes an additional blank and found evidence that the current assay may be measuring other cellular processes in addition to its intended signal. Our results suggest that a new NADH Blank might be optimized to improve the specificity of the assay.
