Fig. 4 Paternal starvation does not alter F2 survival but is associated with F2 malformations at 24 hpf. (a) F2 survival at prim-5 (24 hpf): The analysis of several embryo clutches revealed no statistically significant changes on survival between embryos produced by the F1 (either females or males) of fed and starved fathers. Individual data points within the violin plot represent the average embryo survival rate per individual and produced by natural spawning. (b) F2 abnormal embryos at prim-5 stage (24 hpf). Increased number of abnormal embryos was observed in the group laid by F1 fish coming from starved fathers. No statistical differences were found when sex was considered as interaction factor.
