Values (mean of triplicates ± SE) are not significantly different for any feeding treatment (p > 0.05).
CF(%) = [(weight of fish / (length of fish)3] × 100.
HSI (%) = (weight of liver / weight of fish) × 100.
VSI (%) = (weight of viscera / weight of fish) × 100.
CVBL (%)i = (standard deviation of initial length of fish / mean initial length of fish) × 100.
CVBL (%)f = (standard deviation of final length of fish / mean final length of fish) × 100.
CVBW (%)i = (standard deviation of initial weight of fish / mean initial weight of fish) × 100.
CVBW (%)f = (standard deviation of final weight of fish / mean final weight of fish) × 100.
