Mean and confidence interval of food conversionrates (α = 0.05) by testing period Pp: Palmaria palmata, Ld: Laminaria digitata, Ui: Ulva intestinalis, Cr: Ceramnium rubrum, Pp25 − Ld75: a diet composed of 25% P. palmata and 75% L. digitata. Pp75%: diet consisting of 75% of the amount of P. palmata consumed when supplied ad libitum. For each season, diets that do not share a letter significantly differ (ANOVA and SNK tests, p < 0.05).
