Morphological characteristics of the rainbow trout (O. mykiss). BM, body mass; BL, body length (standard); CF, condition factor; RVM, relative ventricle mass. The condition factor of the fish was calculated as (100×body mass)/standard length³. There were no statistical differences between treatment groups for any of the variables.
