Effect of Passiflora incarnata (L) extract on gonadal maturation in young tilapia (Oreochromis sp.)

ABSTRACT The effect of Passiflora incarnata's extract (PE) on gonadal maturation in young tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) was evaluated by administering feed supplemented with PE during the first 90 days immediately after yolk sac assimilation. One hundred and fifty fishes with 0.01 ± 0.003 g average...
