Beluga Sturgeon Feed Fatty Acid Profiles with Statistical Significance

Fatty acid profiles for beluga sturgeon formulated feed and processing byproducts are expressed as mean percentages of total fatty acids ± standard deviation, with n=4 replicates per sample. Superscript letters indicate statistically significant differences between feed types (P<0.05). The dataset was authored by Zabihollah Pajand and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare mean percentage of specific fatty acids (e.g., C18:1n9, EPA, DHA) between different feed types and processing byproducts.
• Assess statistical significance (P<0.05) of differences in fatty acid composition using the provided superscript letter annotations.
• Evaluate the standard deviation (SD) values for each fatty acid mean to understand variability across the n=4 replicates.
• Analyze the fatty acid profile to infer nutritional quality of different feed formulations for beluga sturgeon.

Strengths

• Includes statistical significance indicators (P<0.05) for comparisons between feed types.
• Provides mean values with standard deviation (SD) for each fatty acid, based on n=4 replicates.

Limitations

• Small sample size with only n=4 replicates per condition limits statistical power.
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a small number of rows and fatty acid variables.
