A description of the diet compositions used in this study. Diet composition and proximate analysis of the control formulated diet (CFD. containing fish meal as the primary protein source. The Scoular Company-C.P.S.P.90) and the gluten formulated diet (GFD. containing wheat gluten as the primary protein source. MP Biomedicals) are elaborated in this table.
