FO promotes the growth of zebrafish larvae. Zebrafish larvae (n = 30) at 3 days post fertilization (dpf) were treated with the indicated concentrations of FO (0–100 µg/mL). The total body lengths were measured at (A) 6, 9, and 12 dpf using an Olympus microscope (×4). β-glycerophosphate (GP) at 4 mM was used as a positive control. (B) Graphical representation of the total body length at each dpf. Significant differences among the groups were determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni correction. All data are presented as mean ± SEM (001 ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 vs. untreated zebrafish larvae). FO, fermented oyster (C. gigas) extract; UT, untreated.
