1Standard error of the mean derived from the analysis of variance. 2TWG (g/fish)=Average final weight (g)–Average initial weight (g). 3ADG (g/fish/day)= [ATG (g)/experimental period (d)]. 4SGR (%/day)=100 (Ln final weight–Ln initial weight)/experimental period (d). 5SR=100[Total No of fish at the end of the experimental/Total No of fish at the start of the experiment].
