Effects of dietary NaP on the growth performance of juvenile turbot.
| Diet | Control | High SBM | High SBM+0.5% NaP | High SBM+1.0% NaP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Survival rate (%) | 97.50 ± 1.44 | 93.33 ± 0.83 | 95.83 ± 0.83 | 92.50 ± 3.82 |
| Initial body weight (g) | 21.90 ± 0.12 | 22.11 ± 0.25 | 22.12 ± 0.04 | 21.95 ± 0.04 |
| Final body weight (g) | 76.57 ± 2.08a | 65.78 ± 3.57b | 77.55 ± 2.59a | 71.33 ± 2.38ab |
| Weight gain rate (%) | 247.00 ± 12.12a | 199.20 ± 11.40b | 250.00 ± 8.70a | 225.00 ± 11.95ab |
| Special growth rate (%/d) | 1.85 ± 0.04a | 1.59 ± 0.04b | 1.90 ± 0.04a | 1.80 ± 0.06a |
| Feed efficiency ratio | 1.15 ± 0.03a | 1.05 ± 0.02b | 1.18 ± 0.03a | 1.05 ± 0.03b |
| Hepatosomatic index (%) | 1.34 ± 0.07 | 1.33 ± 0.06 | 1.25 ± 0.05 | 1.40 ± 0.03 |
Values were mean ± SEM (n = 3), and values within the same row with different letters were significantly different (P < 0.05). Survival rate, SR (%) = 100 × (the final number of fish/the initial number of fish). Weight gain rate, WGR (%) = 100 × [(final body weight (g) − initial body weight (g))/initial body weight (g)]. Specific growth rate, SGR (%/d) = 100 × (ln final body weight (g)–ln initial body weight (g))/days. Feed efficiency ratio, FER = weight gain (g)/total amount of feed consumption (g). Hepatosomatic index, HIS (%) = 100 × liver weight (g) of final individual fish/final individual weight (g).
