Comparison of nutritional indicators between low vulnerability (LVF) and high vulnerability (HVF) largemouth bass presented as mean ± SE
| Vulnerability | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter | HVF | n | LVF | n | Test statistic | P-value |
| Total protein (g L−1) | 31 ± 0.8 | 12 | 30 ± 0.8 | 11 | T = 0.72 | 0.48 |
| Cholesterol (mmol L−1) | 8.7 ± 0.3 | 12 | 8.4 ± 0.3 | 11 | T = 0.77 | 0.45 |
| Triglycerides (mmol L−1) | 3.55 ± 0.33 | 12 | 3.15 ± 0.38 | 11 | T = 0.80 | 0.44 |
| Calcium (mmol L−1) | 3.51 ± 0.18 | 12 | 3.33 ± 0.04 | 11 | U = −0.37 | 0.71 |
| Magnesium (mmol L−1) | 1.83 ± 0.11 | 12 | 1.52 ± 0.05 | 11 | U = −2.34 | 0.02* |
Data were analyzed using a t-test (T) or a Mann-Whitney U test (U). As multiple comparisons were conducted, Bonferroni corrections were applied. The significance of values was based on the criterion α = 0.01. Significant values prior to Bonferroni corrections (α = 0.05) are indicated by an asterisk.
