The diet containing 12.73 MJ digestible energy/ kg feed resulted in the best growth, blood parameters, and liver histology. Fish that consumed the 10.85 and 11.82 diets had similar weight gains, feed, and protein utilization as fish fed diets containing 13.69 or 15.06 MJ (p>0.05) but fish fed diets containing 13.69 or 15.06 MJ/kg had signs of hepatic lipidosis.enClarias gariepinus, African catfish, nutrition, dietary energy, hepatic lipidosis, blood chemistry, growthArticle
