  1. Juvenile yellow perch were fed either a fish meal-based diet (FM) or a soybean meal-based diet (SBM). Measurements were taken from all individual fish (n = 50/tank) among 12 total tanks; 6 fed FM and 6 fed SBM-based diets. Data are the mean values ( ± SD) of individual fish in terms of weight (g), weight gain (g or %), and survival (%). A pooled two-tailed t-test was run to compare dietary treatment groups, and values within a column with an asterisks (*) denote significant (p < 0.05) differences between groups.
