- Values are means from triplicate groups of fish (n = 3) where values in each row with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05)
- 1Weight gain (WG) = (final weight − initial weight) × 100/initial weight
- 2Specific growth rate (SGR; %/day) = (in final weight − ln initial weight) × 100/d
- 3Feed efficiency (FE; %) = wet WG (g) × 100/dry feed intake (g)
- 4Protein efficiency ratio (PER) = wet weight gain/protein intake
- 5Survival (SR; %) = (total fish − dead fish) × 100/total fish
- 6Pooled standard error of mean = SD/√n
