Hediste Diversicolor Growth and Survival Under Different Feeding Regimes

Growth and survival parameters for the polychaete worm Hediste diversicolor are recorded under commercial and sturgeon waste feeding regimes across various stocking densities. The dataset is a small 9.5 KB XLS file uploaded by author Zabihollah Pajand to figshare in April 2026. It includes statistical significance indicators for differences among the eight experimental groups (C1-C4, W1-W4).

Use Cases

• Compare final_weight or survival_rate between commercial_feed and waste_feed groups.
• Analyze the effect of stocking_density on growth_rate or specific_growth_rate within each feed type.
• Model feed_conversion_ratio using parameters like initial_weight, final_weight, and feed_type.
• Identify statistically significant differences (P<0.05) between groups using the provided lowercase and uppercase letter indicators.

Strengths

• Data includes statistical significance indicators (P<0.05) for group comparisons.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.
• File is small (9.5 KB) and in a widely accessible XLS format.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating a limited experimental scope.
• The specific number of rows, columns, and measured parameters is unknown.
• Temporal and geographic coverage of the underlying experiment is not specified.
