Different symbols in the weight column show significant differences between samples with 95% certainty by Kruskal–Wallis/Nemenyi tests. Different letters in length and width columns show significant differences between samples with 95% certainty by ANOVA/Tukey. $\tilde{\text{x}}$(IQR), median and Interquartile Range. $\overline{\text{x}}$± SD, mean and standard deviation.
