The individual specific growth rate (G, %/d) of the larvae was
calculated based on the formula:
G ¼ 100*ðeg 1Þ (1)
where g ¼ instantaneous growth coefficient equal to:
g ¼ St2 MSt1
Dt (2)
where St2 equals the individual standard length of the larvae per
tank at time point 2 and MSt1 is the mean standard length of the
larvae in the respective tank at time point 1. Dt ¼ time (d) between
measurements [38].
Fulton's condition factor (K) was calculated as K ¼ (dry weight
[mg]/SL3 [mm3
])*100.
