¹Samples were collected at the feeder, pooled, mixed, and then split using a riffle splitter to create a composite sample and submitted to Ward Laboratories (Kearney, NE) for analysis.

²Treatments 0.87% and 24.35% solubles were manufactured and blended to create the intermediate levels of 8.70% and 16.52% solubles. Fish meal source was LT Prime Menhaden Fishmeal (Daybrook Fisheries Inc., New Orleans, LA).
