Figure 3. No-choice feeding assay of artificial diets comprised of dried algae and bound by carrageenan.

Data show mean (+SE) consumption rates (g FW diet day⁻¹, n = 5) of diets per treatment standardised for abalone size (100g⁻¹ BW). Abalone size ranged from 26–184 g (mean = 89.63 g). Common letters above columns indicate no significant difference (Tukey’s HSD, p>0.05). Control diet (white bar, no algae) was also included in the formal analysis.
