Table 2.

Mean and standard deviation of weight of common carp (Cyprinus carpio), growth parameters. WG: weight gain, SGR: specific growth rate, FCR: food conversation ratio, and somatic indices. K: Fulton’s condition factor, HSI: hepatosomatic index, VSI: viscerosomatic index. AN-GB: groundbaits composed mostly of animal-derived ingredients, PL-GB: plant-based groundbaits, the control is a widely used aquaculture feed.
