Values (means of triplicate ± SE) in the same column sharing a common superscript are not statistically different (p > 0.05).
Weight gain (g/abalone) = Final weight of abalone – Initial weight of abalone.
Specific growth rate (SGR, %/day) = [(Ln (Final weight of abalone) – Ln (Initial weight of abalone) / Days of feeding] × 100.
