The fish were challenged to 8 weeks of experiment. The final body weight and tissue weight were measured after fasting for the last 48 h of the experiment. The initial body weight was measured without fasting

BW body weight, SGR specific growth rate, DFC daily feed consumption, HSI hepato-somatic index (liver weight (g)/body weight (g)) × 100, GBSI gallbladder-somatic index (gallbladder weight (g)/body weight (g))
