The values are means±SD (rock bream: n=10, olive flounder: n=30) of triplicated groups respectively. Means in rows with a same superscript letter are not significantly different (P > 0.05). Abbreviations (Figs. 2 and 3), SL: standard length; CIO: body circumference at one-third line between most posterior aspect of operculum and mediate point of standard length; CIA: body circumference at a vertical line which intersects at right angle with the intermediate point of standard length; CIM: body circumference at midpoint line between mediate point of standard length and most posterior scale in lateral line; AO: area on section at one-third line between most posterior aspect of operculum and mediate point of standard length; AA: area on section at a vertical line which intersects at right angle with the intermediate point of standard length; AM: area on section at midpoint line between mediate point of standard length and most posterior scale in lateral line; THO: total height on section at one-third line between most posterior aspect of operculum and mediate point of standard length; THA: total height on section at a vertical line which intersects right angle with the intermediate point of standard length; THM: total height on section at midpoint line between mediate point of standard length and most posterior scale in lateral line; HO: height on section at one-third line between most posterior aspect of operculum and mediate point of standard length; WO: width on section at one-third line between most posterior aspect of operculum and mediate point of standard length; WA: width on section at a vertical line which intersects at right angle with the intermediate point of standard length; WM: width on section at midpoint line between mediate point of standard length and most posterior scale in lateral line; BTO 1: belly thickness 1 on section at one-third line between most posterior aspect of operculum and mediate point of standard length; BTO 2: belly thickness 2 on section at one-third line between most posterior aspect of operculum and mediate point of standard length; ABT: average belly thickness, (BTO 1+BTO 2)/2; BS 1: body shape 1, (CIA/SL)×100; BS 2: body shape 2, (THA/SL)×100; BS 3: body shape 3, (WA/SL)×100; SS 1-1: section shape 1-1, (WO/THO)×100; SS 1-2: section shape 1-2, (WA/THA)×100; SS 2-1: section shape 2-1, (HO/WO)×100; SS 3-1: section shape 3-1, (ABT/WO)×100; SS 3-2: section shape 3-2, (BTO 1/WO)×100; SS 3-3: section shape 3-3, (BTO 2/WO)×100; SS 4-1: section shape 4-1, [0.5(π×HO×0.5×WO)/AO]×100; Ratio 1: fed group/initial group; Ratio 2: starved group/initial group; Ratio 3: fed group/starved group.
