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.
GOT, plasma glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase; GPT, plasma glutamic pyruvic transaminase; TP, plasma total protein; GLU, plasma glucose; TCHO, plasma total cholesterol; TG, plasma total triglyceride; Na+, plasma Na+; K+, plasma K+; Cl, plasma Cl.
