We study finite-volume effects on the masses of the ground-state octet baryons using covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) up to next-to-leading order by analyzing the latest lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) results from the NPLQCD Collaboration. Contributions of virtual decuplet baryons are taken into account using the consistent coupling scheme. We compare our results with those obtained from heavy baryon ChPT and show that, although both approaches can describe well the lattice data, the underlying physics is different: In heavy baryon ChPT, virtual decuplet baryons play a more important role than they do in covariant ChPT. This is because the virtual octet-baryon contributions to finite-volume corrections are larger in covariant ChPT than in heavy baryon ChPT, while the contributions of intermediate decuplet baryons are smaller, because of relativistic effects. We observe that for the octet-baryon masses, at fixed (<?format ?>≫<?format ?>1) finite-volume corrections decrease as approaches its physical value, provided that the strange quark mass is at or close to its physical value, as in most lattice quantum chromodynamics setups.
