Abstract
The present study was conducted on two-year-old carp, reared in the production-scale conditions. The fish were kept for 62 days in cooling water and fed feeds differing in the fat content (35.9% of the energetic value of the diet) and carbohydrate content (35.6% of the energetic value of the diet). The experiment resulted in statistically significant differences in the levels of glucose, lipids, and blood lipoproteins as well as in the body composition of the fish in relation to the pre-experiment values and in relation to the other nutritional groups.
