  1. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation calculated from 134 to 138 individual fish of each dietary group for weight parameters, 29–32 fish for HSI, and 4 tanks of each dietary group for AFI. Different superscripts in the same row indicate significant differences among diets (one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post-hoc test, p < 0.05)
  2. 1Weight gain = Final weight – Initial weight
  3. 2Hepatosomatic index = 100 × (liver mass/body mass)
  4. 3Apparent feed intake = feed consumption/number of fish per tank
