1R: reference diet; P8 and C (the same treatment): PBM replaced 80% of the fish meal in diet R; C10: PBM replaced 80% of the fish meal in diet R with 10000 mg/kg curcumin supplementation. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). The superscripts present the results of independent t-test between R and P8 (capital letters) or between C and C10 (small letters). The data in the same column with different superscripts are significantly different ().
