Parameters Diet1) p-value
FM20 FM10
Moisture (%) 69.7 ± 1.1a 75.2 ± 0.5b 0.0118
Crude protein (%) 20.7 ± 0.8b 18.2 ± 0.3a 0.0427
Crude lipid (%) 0.79 ± 0.01b 0.47 ± 0.05a 0.0053
Crude ash (%) 3.53 ± 0.19 3.15 ± 0.05 0.1237
Values represent the means of triplicate groups of Pacific white shrimp where the values within each row with different superscript letters indicate statistically significant differences (mean ± SEM; p < 0.05).
Diets represent FM20: fishmeal contents of 200 g kg–1, FM10: fishmeal contents of 100 g kg–1.
