Optimization of the Balance between Protein, Lipid and Carbohydrate in Diets for Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus)

Figure 1

Experimental design. (a) Table showing the composition of macronutrients in the diets (% of wet weight; Prot: Protein; CH: carbohydrate). (b) Figure showing the distribution of diet compositions within chosen borders. The green fraction inside the triangle represents the area of variation of protein (68-43%), lipid (6-17%), and carbohydrate (4-18%). The grey arrow represents the gradient of protein supplementation. The red dots represent the numbered diets. Diet 5 was fed to fish in three tanks, and the other 11 diets were fed to fish in one tank each.
