Crayfish Growth Data with Proteomic and Physiological Measurements

An Excel dataset supports a study on differential growth in juvenile Cherax quadricarinatus crayfish. It contains individual and progeny-level body weight data, digestive enzyme activities, energy reserves in tissues, and lists of differentially expressed proteins. The dataset was authored by Hernan Sacristan and last updated on May 16, 2026.

Use Cases

• Correlating body weight with energy reserve levels based on lipid, glycogen, and protein data.
• Identifying biomarkers for growth performance based on lists of differentially expressed proteins.
• Analyzing digestive capacity in relation to growth based on hepatopancreas enzyme activity measurements.

Strengths

• Data is structured across multiple worksheets for specific analysis types, as described.
• The dataset is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and modification.
• The file size is 62.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale statistical modeling.
• The dataset's scale is limited to a specific study on Cherax quadricarinatus.
