Relative percentages of fatty acids (mean ± SD) in Florida pompano (T. carolinus) juveniles at the start of the experiment (referred to in the table as initial) and after 12-week feeding trial when they were fed a control diet, a 10% clam meal diet, a 20% clam meal diet, and a 30% clam meal diet.
aSum of saturated fatty acids (SFA) C13:0 and C20:0 for which the combined percentages are ≤ 0.5% of total fatty acids.
