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. ³IBW: initial body weight; FBW: final body weight; WGR: weight gain rate; FI: feed intake; SGR: specific growth rate; FER: feed efficiency ratio; PER: protein efficiency ratio; PR: protein retention; HSI: hepatosomatic index; VSI: viscerosomatic index; CF: condition factor.
