This page is intended to become a collection ground for useful and interesting numbers about C. elegans biology. These numbers include things such as the average volume and mass (calculated estimates) of an adult hermaphrodite, larval stage, or embryo. Some of these numbers are well established facts whereas others are estimations, with a description of the method for calculating or estimating provided.
Worms Volume
Embryo = ~35 picoliters
L1 larvae = ~80 picoliters
L2 larvae = ~135 picoliters
L3 larvae = ~300 picoliters
L4 larvae = ~800 picoliters
Adult hermaphrodite = ~2.2 nanoliters
