1 Ingredients purchased from Great Seven Biotechnology Co., Ltd in Shandong, China. The composition of elementary ingredients, vitamin premix, and mineral premix refers to Huang et al. [38]. 2 The antioxidant is ethoxy quinoline. 3 The mold inhibitor is calcium propionate. 4 Commercially available from Beijing Huaxia Houde Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). 5 The pure glycyrrhizin was purchased from Qingdao kaitaike industry and Trade Co., Ltd in Qingdao China. 6 Low level of microcrystalline cellulose had no significant effect on large yellow croaker larvae.
