Values are mean ± SD (n = 3).
Values with different superscripts within the same column are significantly different (p < 0.05).
DW, houndfish treated with distilled water; 1% AA, houndfish treated with 1% acetic acid; CTS 1, houndfish treated with 0.5% chitosan; CTS 2, houndfish treated with 1% chitosan; CTS 3, houndfish treated with 1.5% chitosan; CTS 4, houndfish treated with 2% chitosan.
