Effects of dietary carbohydrate to lipid ratios on growth performance, digestive enzyme and hepatic carbohydrate metabolic enzyme activities of large yellow croaker (Larmichthys crocea)

The manuscript addresses the effect of dietary CHO:L ratios on growth performance, feed utilization and hepatic carbohydrate metabolic enzymes. Although this study investigated a common nutritional research topic, it still had somehow research originality because such nutritional topic has not been studied in large yellow croaker yet. The results give some valuable data for this marine fish. What's more, the information obtained from the present study would be helpful in developing low-cost diets for this species.
