Fat and protein contents of the carcass, ovary and viscera are
given in Table 3. Fat content of the viscera of the stunted
broodfish was significantly (Pb0.05) higher than that of normal
broodfish but there were no significant differences (PN0.05)
between the two broodfish types for fat content of carcass and the
ovary. Fat content of the carcass of stunted group fed at 1%
biomass was found to be significantly Pb0.05) lower than the
groups fed at 2% and 3% of biomass but the fat contents of the
carcass fed at 2% and 3% were similar (PN0.05). Carcass fat
content in normal group increased with the feeding rate.
