|---|---|---|---|---|
| IBW, g/fish | 5.06 ± 0.01 | 5.06 ± 0.01 | 5.06 ± 0.01 | 5.04 ± 0.02 |
| WG, % | 108.77 ± 5.84ab | 103.99 ± 5.79a | 103.42 ± 2.96a | 115.57 ± 5.84b |
| FI, g/fish | 6.37 ± 0.02 | 6.37 ± 0.01 | 6.37 ± 0.01 | 6.35 ± 0.02 |
| FCR | 1.28 ± 0.06 | 1.25 ± 0.04 | 1.21 ± 0.05 | 1.21 ± 0.03 |
| SR, % | 80.00 ± 11.55a | 96.67 ± 3.33b | 98.33 ± 2.89b | 85.00 ± 7.26ab |
IBW = initial body weight; WG = weight gain; FI = feed intake; FCR = feed conversion ratio; SR = survival rate.
a, b Different superscripts in the same row indicate significant differences (Duncan’s test; P < 0.05).
