Table 1

The proximate chemical compositions of feed pellets used when rearing green turtles. The analysis was performed in triplicate and the results are expressed as g kg⁻¹ on DM basis.

Chemical composition^a	Sinking pellet^b	Floating pellet^b
Moisture	75.9	68.8
CP (DM)	474.1	466.8
Crude lipid (DM)	85.5	80.8
Crude fiber (DM)	23.4	29.4
Ash (DM)	117.7	111.5
NFE (DM)^b	299.3	311.5
GE (kcal kg⁻¹ DM)	4785.2	4774.5

CP, crude protein; DM, dry matter; NFE, nitrogen free extract; GE, gross energy.
