Whole body protein and ash were not influenced by supplemental levels of dietary lipid, vitamin E, or their interaction (Table 4).
Whole body moisture and lipid contents significantly decreased and increased, respectively in fish fed 14% lipid diets, but were similar in fish fed 6 or 10% dietary lipid.
Increasing the supplemental level of vitamin E to 100 mg/kg diet significantly increased body lipid, but the values of this variable did not differ in fish fed 6 or 14% dietary lipid.
Dietary vitamin E content had no effect on body moisture.
There was no significant interaction between dietary levels of lipid and vitamin E on body moisture or lipid.
