Results are presented as ( for growth parameters; for body indexes and proximate composition). CD: control diet; CD + MU7: control diet supplemented with 7% multispecific macroalgal wrack; CD + MO7: control diet supplemented with 7% monospecific macroalgal wrack; SGR: specific growth rate; HSI: hepatosomatic index; VSI: viscerosomatic index; VFI: visceral-fat index; DW: dry weight. Different letters in superscript in the same row denote significant differences among dietary treatments ().
