1Data are means of triplicate. Means in the same row sharing the same superscript letter are not significantly different determined by Tukey’s test (). 2Fish meal-based diet was named FM; diets with 450 g/kg of fish meal replaced by six kinds of commercial fermented soybean meal were, respectively, named FSBM1, FSBM2, FSBM3, FSBM4, FSBM5, and FSBM6. 3VH: villus height; TIW: thickness of the intestinal wall; MH: microvillus height.
