The fish were fed in 500, 1000, 1500 and 3000 mg/kg feeds for 56 days. The results indicated that the growth factors had the highest body weight gain, specific growth rate and best FCR in 1000 and 1500 mg/kg treatments (P<0.05). On the other hand, the highest and lowest amount of carcass protein was in treatments of 3000 and 1500 mg/kg, respectively. Also, the highest and lowest levels of fat were observed in treatments of 1500 and 3000 mg/kg of the ethanolic extract, respectively (P<0.05). In addition, the highest levels of superoxide dismutase and catalase enzyme activity were observed at levels of 1500 and 1000 mg/kg, respectively and the lowest levels for both enzymes were in 3000 mg/kg treatment. Based on the results of the present study, the concentrations of 1000 and 1500 mg/kg extract increased the weight and activity of the superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes in this fish.
