TABLE 7. Summary of the a posteriori test of significance of differences in final meanstandard lengths of siganids in each of 6 tanks used in a growth trial comparing two diets.Significance levels as determined with Tukey's Standardized Range Method. Fish in tanks I,3, and 5 were fed with salmon starter. Those in tanks 2, 4, and 6 were fed catfish pellets.Final sample sizes ranged from 42 to 50 as shown in Table 2. Lengths of fish fed with thesalmon starter differed significantly (p
