2.9. Data analyses
Biochemical analyses and energy budget were performed
at least three times, whereas the morphometric analyses
were performed for 15 fishes (5 per treatment). Differences
between the diets and the experimental animals were analyzed
statistically using one-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA) (Zar, 1984). Statistical significance (95%) on
the biochemical constituent of the diets and the energy
budget analyses were also determined. All statistical analyses
were carried out using the STATISTICA (1998)
program.
