Fig. 1. Effects of diet on critical swimming speed (Ucrit) in
the three groups of seabass fed diets where lipids were provided as either
canola oil (CO, green column), palm oil (PO, red column) or fish oil (FO, blue
column). Values are means ± s.e.m.; N=6 in all cases. A
dissimilar letter indicates a significant difference (P<0.05)
between the dietary treatments.

Fig. 3. Effects of diet on immobile metabolic rate, active metabolic rate, and
aerobic scope, in the three groups of seabass fed diets where lipids were
provided as either canola oil (CO, green column), palm oil (PO, red column) or
fish oil (FO, blue column). Values are means ± s.e.m.; N=6 in
all cases. A dissimilar letter indicates a significant difference
(P<0.05) between the dietary treatments. MR, metabolic rate.

Fig. 4. Projections of individuals onto the plane of three main functions of a
principal components analysis of individual data for ventricular muscle
neutral fatty acids (FA), polar FA, and the measured traits of growth,
metabolism and performance, in the three groups of seabass fed diets where
lipids were provided as either canola oil (green symbols, N=5), palm
oil (red symbols, N=5) or fish oil (blue symbols, N=6). (A)
Projections for the first and second axes, which describe 36% and 20% of the
variation, respectively. (B) The same first axis plotted against the third,
which describes 15% of the variation.
