Table 3

The results of the comparison of the mean percentage of masculinization and intersex in all-female rainbow trout fed with MT, B. alba, and M. pruriens.

Treatment	N	Masculinization (%)	Intersex (%)	Female (%)

MT (60 mg/kg)	300	40.45 ± 8.21^c	5.73 ± 2.38^a	56.41 ± 5.43^b
MT (90 mg/kg)	300	68.62 ± 1.82^a	6.03 ± 3.53^a	25.34 ± 2.71^d
B. alba (1.0 g/kg)	300	47.48 ± 6.54^bc	1.20 ± 1.23^bc	48.02 ± 4.55^bc
B. alba (2.0 g/kg)	300	50.28 ± 6.43^bc	3.00 ± 1.36^b	47.77 ± 6.93^bc
M. pruriens (0.1 g/kg)	300	50.94 ± 9.42^bc	1.51 ± 1.64^bc	48.19 ± 4.12^bc
M. pruriens (0.2 g/kg)	300	61.75 ± 17.16^ab	2.00 ± 0.78^bc	36.24 ± 3.31^cd
