The dataset contains the raw data from a 42-day randomised controlled feeding trial investigating the effects of replacing fishmeal with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal in pelleted diets on the performance of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The trial compared three dietary treatments: a control diet containing 0% replacement (0R), a diet with 50% fishmeal replacement (50R), and a diet with 100% fishmeal replacement (100R). Outcomes assessed included water quality, growth performance, survival, body composition, and fatty acid profile.
The dataset consists of three data sheets:
1. Raw data for water quality parameters, including all recorded water quality variables measured throughout the 42-day trial across the three dietary treatments (0R, 50R, and 100R). Named: “Raw data table 1: Raw data of the water parameters measured in a 42-day randomized controlled feeding trial evaluating the effects of fishmeal replacement with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal in pelleted diets (50% and 100% replacement levels) compared to a control diet (0% replacement) on growth performance, survival, body composition, and fatty acid profile of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei).”
2. Raw individual growth performance data, collected at two sampling points (21 and 42 days), including initial and final length, initial and final weight, feed input, calculated weight gain (%), length gain (%), specific weight growth rate (% per day), specific length growth rate (% per day), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) for each treatment group (0R, 50R, and 100R). Named: “Raw data table 2: Raw individual growth performance data collected at two sampling points (21 and 42 days) during a 42-day randomized controlled feeding trial evaluating the effects of fishmeal replacement with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal in pelleted diets (50% and 100% replacement levels) compared to a control diet (0% replacement) on growth performance, survival, body composition, and fatty acid profile of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei).”
3. Statistical analysis of growth parameters, including treatment means ± standard deviations, results of Shapiro-Wilk tests for normality, Levene’s tests for homogeneity of variance, p-values from one-way ANOVA or Kruskal–Wallis tests (as appropriate), and post hoc pairwise comparisons using Tukey’s HSD (parametric) or Dunn’s test (non-parametric) at 21 and 42 days of sampling. Named: “Raw data table 3: Statistical analysis of growth parameters at 21 and 42 days of sampling in a 42-day randomized controlled feeding trial evaluating the effects of fishmeal replacement with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal in pelleted diets (50% and 100% replacement levels) compared to a control diet (0% replacement) on growth performance, survival, body composition, and fatty acid profile of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Data normality was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, and homogeneity of variances was evaluated using Levene’s test. Differences among treatments were analyzed using one-way ANOVA when assumptions were met or the Kruskal–Wallis test when assumptions were violated. Post hoc pairwise comparisons were conducted using Tukey’s HSD test for parametric data or Dunn’s test for non-parametric data, with corresponding p-values reported.”
