Comparative Histomorphological Studies on Oesophagus of Catfish and Grass Carp

Table 1

Showed statistical analysis of various measurements of catfish and grass carp.

Measurements	Catfish	Grass carp
Body weight (gm)	406.4±9.60	421.60±8.70 N.S.
Total length of fish (cm)	38.6±5.60	40.60±6.21 N.S.
Standard length of fish (cm)	35.4±3.01	37.20±4.0 N.S.
Length of oesophagus (cm)	0.78±0.20	1.16±0.23 N.S.
Diameter of oesophagus (cm)	0.65±0.11 (anterior part); 0.48±0.09 (posterior part)	0.51±0.10

The values were represented by mean ± standard error. Differences were considered as not significant if 𝑃>0.05 (N.S.), significant if 𝑃<0.05, and highly significant if 𝑃<0.01.
