150	13.62 ± 0.58c	41.02 ± 0.94d	140.1 ± 4.24c	117.20 ± 3.41c
200	15.45 ± 0.88b	49.11 ± 1.28b	143.5 ± 2.05bc	120.45 ± 2.21c
250	16.23 ± 0.77ab	49.88 ± 1.19b	150.0 ± 5.37b	125.28 ± 2.05b

Values are means (± SE) of four replicates. Significant differences (indicated by different lowercase letters) within a column are based on a one-way analysis of variance with least significant difference (p < 0.05). FW = fresh weight
