Fat deposition in spotted seabass (L. maculatus) fed the test diets for 8 weeks.

	NFD	HFD	NFD + HT	HFD-HT
Abdominal fat index (%) 1	4.13 ± 0.09 a	6.86 ± 0.20 c	4.16 ± 0.09 a	5.02 ± 0.08 b
Liver TAG (nmol/g tissue)	4.33 ± 0.13 ab	6.24 ± 0.17 c	3.94 ± 0.20 a	4.91 ± 0.07 b
Liver TC (nmol/g tissue)	4.56 ± 0.38 a	6.99 ± 0.07 c	4.64 ± 0.19 a	5.79 ± 0.13 b

Values are shown as mean ± SE (n = 3). The values with different superscripts (a, b, c) are significantly different at p < 0.05 (Tukey’s test). NFD—normal-fat diet (10% fat); HFD—high-fat diet (16% fat); NFD + HT—NFD supplemented with 200 mg/kg of hydroxytyrosol (HT); HFD + HT—HFD supplemented with 200 mg/kg of HT. ¹ Abdominal fat index (%) = 100 × abdominal fat/body weight.
