Note: Values are means and standard error of three replicate tanks. Values in the same row followed by different superscript letters are significantly different (p  < 0.05) according to Tukeys' multiple comparison test.

Abbreviations: FPH, fish protein hydrolysate; SM, soybean meal.

^aSurvival rate (%) = 100 × (final fish number/initial fish number).

^bWeight gain (%) = 100 × (final body weight − initial body weight)/initial body weight.

^cSpecific growth rate (%/day) = 100 × [ln (final body weight) − ln (initial body weight)]/feeding days.

^dFeed intake (%/day) = 100 × total feed intake/[feeding days × (initial body weight + final body weight)/2].

^eFeed conversion ratio = dry feed intake/body weight gain.

^fProtein efficiency ratio = (final body weight − initial body weight)/dietary protein intake.

^gProtein productive value (%) = 100 × (crude protein content of final body − crude protein content of initial body)/dietary protein intake.
