Effect of Stocking Density and Dietary Protein Level in Biofloc System on the Growth, Digestive and Antioxidant Enzyme Activities, Health, and Resistance to Acute Crowding Stress in Juvenile Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Table 5

Digestive enzyme activities in the digestive tract and antioxidant enzyme activities in the liver of common carp reared in medium (MD) and high (HD) densities and fed 35 and 25% dietary protein in a biofloc system and control (clear water, medium density, 35% dietary protein) for 60 days ().
