3.3. Stability of the diets in seawater
The loss of dry matter and crude protein for the 11 diets is shown
in the Table 5. After 3 h of immersion, the diets DI presented the highest
stability in water, as well as the commercial diet of reference. The
diets DS exhibited lower water stability, while the largest losses of
dry matter and crude protein were observed for the diets of type DM.
