Relative percentages of fatty acids (mean ± SD) in diets (control or 0% CM, 10% CM, 20% CM, and 30% CM) fed to Florida pompano (T. carolinus) juveniles for 12 weeks.
aSum of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) includes C20:1 for which the percentages are ≤ 0.2% of total fatty acids.
bSum of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) includes C18:3 n-6, and C20:3, for which the combined percentages are ≤ 0.5% of total fatty acids.
