From: Transcriptome analysis of food habit transition from carnivory to herbivory in a typical vertebrate herbivore, grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella

Figure 1

The morphological index of grass carp with differential feeding patterns, including photos of fish (A), total length (B), body length (C), weight (D), gut length (E), gut weight (F), gut weight/body weight (G), gut length/body length (H), Fulton's condition factor (I). Group A: fish fed with chironomid larvae before food habit transition; Group B: fish fed with chironomid larvae without transition; Group C: fish fed with duckweed after food habit transition to herbivory. Total length means the length from the rostral tip of jaw to the caudal tip of the expanded tail, and body length refers to the length from the rostral tip of jaw to the caudal end of last lateral line scale. Data are means ± S.E.M. (n = 6). A value followed by a superscript differs significantly (P < 0.05) from all other values not followed by the same superscript.
