During the fast, ponderal decrease and energy expenditure of captive King Penguins are minimal for the incubating adults, and maximal for the moulting birds who are producing their new plumage and whose insulation is reduced at that time. Whatever their conditions, the slope of the ponderal decrease curve is uniform before reaching a critical zone. On the other hand, it is independent of the seasons for the unemployed birds.
在禁食期间,圈养帝企鹅的体重下降和能量消耗对于正在孵蛋的成年企鹅来说最小,而对于正在换羽、此时隔热能力降低的换羽期企鹅来说最大。无论处于何种状态,体重下降曲线在达到临界区之前的斜率是一致的。另一方面,对于未进入繁殖期的企鹅来说,体重下降情况与季节无关。
