Figure 1
The cumulative growth in weight (a) and length (b) of H. fossilis reared with different experimental feeds for 60 days. Different letters (a, b, c) indicate statistical differences among the treatments (P<0.05).
Figure 2
Length-weight relationship of larvae fed (a) LT, (b) DT, (c) FF and (d) CF at the end of the experiment.
Figure 3
Survival rate of H. fossilis larvae fed with different feeds for 60 days.
Figure 4
Activities of digestive enzymes in intestine of catfish larvae reared with four experimental feeds. Activities are expressed as micromoles of substrate hydrolyzed per minute per milligram of protein at 35ºC for (a) amylase and (b) protease.
