  1. Values within the same row with different subscripts are significantly different (p≤ 0.05, t-test). Mean ± SEM, the statistical unit is the mean of the net pen (n = 3). 19 fish were used to calculate the net pen mean.
  2. 1Condition factor (CF) = 1000 × weight [ g ] length [ g ] 3 .
  3. 2Liver index (LI) = liver − weight [ g ] weight [ g ] × 100.
  4. 3Cardio somatic index (CSI) = heart − weight [ g ] weight [ g ] × 100.
  5. 4Muscle samples (NQC: Norwegian quality cut) from 10 fish/cage were pooled to analyse the muscle fat content.
