Lipid Profiling of Pacific Abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) at Different Developmental Stages Using Ultrahigh Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Figure 3

Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) score plots and variable importance in projection (VIP) score plots displaying the top 10 most important lipids in abalone tissues and hemolymph. (a) PLS-DA score plot of tissues at three different developmental stages. (b) PLS-DA score plot of female and male hemolymph. In the PLS-DA score plots, the colored ellipse represents the 95% confidence interval. (c) Top 10 lipids with the highest VIP scores in tissues at three different developmental stages. (d) Top 10 lipids with the highest VIP scores in female and male hemolymph.
