Inclusion effect of soybean meal, fermented soybean meal, and Saccharina japonica in extruded pellet for juvenile abalone (Haliotis discus, Reeve 1846)

Table 2 Survival (%), weight gain (g/abalone), and specific growth rate (SGR; %/day) of juvenile abalone fed the extruded pellets for 120 days

Experimental diets	Initial weight (g/abalone)	Final weight (g/abalone)	Survival (%)	Weight gain (g/abalone)	SGR¹ (%/day)
FSM	5.7 ± 0.08^a	8.5 ± 0.04^b	92.3 ± 0.32^a	2.8 ± 0.04^c	0.33 ± 0.018^c
SBM	5.5 ± 0.02^a	10.7 ± 0.16^a	93.5 ± 1.04^a	5.2 ± 0.14^a	0.56 ± 0.010^a
SJ	6.0 ± 0.32^a	9.9 ± 0.28^a	90.4 ± 1.90^a	4.0 ± 0.04^b	0.43 ± 0.022^b

Values (means of duplicate ± SE) in the same column sharing a common superscript are not significantly different (P > 0.05)
¹Specific growth rate (SGR; %/day) = [(Ln(Wf) − Ln(Wi))/days of feeding] × 100, where Ln(Wf) = natural log of the final mean weight of abalone and Ln(Wi) = natural log of the initial mean weight of abalone
