Values expressed in mean ± SD (n = 3 tanks/diet). Different letters within a column denote significant differences (P < 0.05) based on Tukey’s multiple range test (one-way ANOVA).
aSpecific growth rate (SGR) = [(ln final weight – ln initial weight)/number of days] × 100.
bIntestinal index (ISI) = (wet intestine weight/wet body weight) × 100.
NS, not significant.
