Content of review 1, reviewed on July 02, 2024
Page 2 Line 23 – Organic content, spat size and weight data should be given
Page 3 Line 41 – Some of literatures are so old. Replace with recent ones.
Page 3 Line 46 – Remove some of Taylor’s references.
Page 4 Line 84 – Last sentence – ‘’All three species of microalgae have been recommended as a food for spat of P.maxima, or other pearl oysters’’…Here is question; If so, why the authors evaluated those microalgae again ?
Page 4 Line 89 – How microalgae cells were calculated ? which method used ? Must be explained.
Page 4 Line 89 – ‘’Source of microalgae’’ should be replace by ‘’Microalgae culture’’
Page 4 Line 95 – ‘’f2’’ should be ‘’F/2’’ or ‘’f/2’’
Page 4 Line 99 – ‘’microalgae’’ ? or ‘’microalga’’ ? . Maintain consistency throughout the manuscript.
Page 4 Line 103 – should be upper superscript
Page 4 Line 103 – Diameter of Microfiber filters should be given in paranthesis
Page 5 Line 110 – caliper ‘’brand, model, country’’ should be given.
Page 5 Line 107 – caption should be ‘’ Spat Husbandry ’’
Some recent articles should be included about relation of microalgal feeding and growth in height and witdh.
Chen, Q., Jiang, X., Han, Q., Sheng, P., Chai, Y., Peng, R., ... & Wu, S. (2021). Growth, calcium content, proximate composition, and fatty acid composition of triangle sail mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii) fed five different microalgal diets. Aquaculture, 530, 735719.
Eryalçın, K. M., Pınarbaşı, Z. S., Turk, S. S., & Tınkır, M. (2024). Effects of microalgae diets on growth, proximate, and fatty acid composition of black mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis. Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, e13050.
Maquirang, J. R. H., Pedroso, F. L., Apines-Amar, M. J., Piñosa, L. A. G., Rendaje, D. C., Cadangin, J. F., ... & Baylon, C. C. (2020). Ingestion, digestion, growth and survival of green mussel Perna viridis pediveliger larvae fed different microalgae. Fisheries Science, 86, 97-105.
I'd rather to built Figures as column graph with SD values.
I also request some correlation figure between organic contents and DVH. and Organic content and HL with R2 values
