Influences of dietary lipid and temperature on growth, fat deposition and lipoprotein lipase expression in darkbarbel catfish ( Pelteobagrus vachellii )

Darkbarbel catfish (Pelteobagrus vachellii) is an important freshwater fish in China. Water temperature greatly influences the absorption and utilization of dietary lipid by fish. Response values (including growth, hepatic fat deposition, and gene expression) for darkbarbel catfish mediated by two factors (water temperature 20–34 °C; dietary lipid level 2–17%) were the focus of this study. The relationship between the two factors and the...
