Table 2.

The feed utilisation and growth performance of Atlantic salmon parr fed four different experimental diets (FM, PL, PHP and SPH diets) for 12 weeks. Values with different superscripts in the same row are significantly different (^†=one-way ANOVA; p < 0.05, n=3, ± SD, *=Kruskal-Wallis H test and Duncan’s Multiple Comparison test; p < 0.05, ± SD).
