  1. WG weight gain = 100 × (Final weight − Initial weight)/Initial weight, SGR specific growth rate = 100 × (ln final weight − ln initial weight)/days, FCR feed conversion ratio = Dry feed intake/Wet body WG, PER protein efficiency ratio = Wet body WG/Protein fed, CF condition factor = 100 × Body weight/(Total body length)3, VSI viscerosomatic index = 100 × (Visceral weight/Body weight), HSI hepatosomatic index = 100 × (Liver weight/Body weight), Values are mean ± SD of three replicates. Values with different superscript letters within the same column in the table are significantly different (P < 0.05). The lack of superscript letter indicates no significant differences (P > 0.05). FM70, basal diet; FM35, low-fishmeal diet; HALP, low-fishmeal diet supplemented with host-associated low-temperature probiotics.
