Laboratory experiment used to examine the link between dietary intake by the crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus and its energy storage. This dataset reports gonadosomatic index (GSI), or the proportion of body weight comprised of the ovary and hepatosomatic index (HIS), or the proportion of body weight comprised of the hepatopancreas.
