Indications/Applications. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) laboratory test, as part of a standard complete blood count (CBC), is used along with other RBC indices (MCH and MCHC) to help classify the cause of anemia based on red cell morphology.See also the Interpretation section above.CV is elevated or decreased in accordance with average red cell size; ie, low MCV indicates microcytic (small average RBC size), normal MCV indicates normocytic (normal average RBC size), and high MCV indicates macrocytic (large average RBC size). The reference range for MCV is 80-96 fL/red cell in adult.
* If your fish have healthy appetites, the recommended amount of food at 69Â°F to 85Â°F is 2.5 percent to 3 percent of your Koi's body weight per day.

Â· Their maximum length is about 3 feet depending upon blood line and proper care. Â· Koi have no stomach, but have a straight gut. In warm water, koi will digest their food in about 4 hours. For maximum growth, they should be fed what they will eat at 4 hour intervals. Â· Koi will eat many things; however it is best to feed them a well-balanced koi food, containing at least 30% protein. Â· The value of a koi mostly depends upon size, pattern, and color. Realistically, a koi is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Â· Koi can withstand a wide range of temperatures and pH values; however a rapid change in either value can cause undue stress and many times will cause death.
