but
growth was significantly better on FF diet at both; however, FF-fed fish at the An Giang farm showed
significantly higher levels of abnormal development. Overall production was about twice as high at the
An Giang farm as at Dong Thap, but significantly greater production by FF-fed fish vs. TF-fed fish was only
seen at Dong Thap. Sensory evaluation by a tasting panel found no difference in product quality between
FF-fed fish, TF-fed fish, and a commercial sample bought in the market. Economic analysis indicated that
profits were higher for FF-fed fish from both farms, although production costs and sales varied greatly,
reflecting market differences in the two provinces.
