The protein requirement of brown trout (Salmo trutta) fry

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The optimal protein level of brown trout determined under these conditions seems to exceed that of the salmonids of the genus Oncorhynchus, but it could be similar to that of Salmo salar.

Amino acids and proteins

TL;DR: Improved growth and feed efficiency is observed when experimental diets for salmonids were supplemented with indispensable amino acids to simulate levels found in isolated fish protein or the respective eggs and whole-body tissue of the species being studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental design, statistical analysis and modelling of dietary nutrient requirement studies for fish: a critical review

TL;DR: A limited survey of published reports on dietary nutrient requirement estimates for fish indicates that broken-line analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are often used to estimate nutrient requirements from dose‐response data.

Effects of dietary protein level on growth performance, carcass composition and ammonia excretion in juvenile silver perch (Bidyanus bidyanus)

TL;DR: The amount of postprandial ammonia excreted by silver perch within 24 h was linearly related to dietary protein level, and the protein efficiency ratio and productive protein value were inversely correlated with dietaryprotein level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of alternative dietary lipid sources on performance, tissue chemical composition, mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation capabilities and sensory characteristics in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)

TL;DR: It was showed that alternative lipid sources could be used effectively for oil coating extruded diets for brown trout and the atherogenicity and the thrombogenicity qualities of the trout flesh were modified by the lipid sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asian seabass Lates calcarifer perform well when fed pelleted diets high in protein and lipid

TL;DR: The results show that productivity of Asian seabass can be markedly improved by increasing dietary protein and lipid concentrations, however, they appear to have only a limited capacity to use lipid as a primary energy source.

Amino Acid Requirements for Growth of Nile Tilapia

TL;DR: A series of feeding experiments was conducted in aquaria to determine the quantitative requirements of the 10 essential amino acids for growth of young Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and weight gains analyzed by the broken line regression method indicated the following requirements.

Nutrition and Feeding in Fish

TL;DR: This chapter discusses nutrition and feeding in fish, and some examples from the literature show the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet of fish.
Book ChapterDOI

Protein and Amino Acid Requirements

TL;DR: This chapter attempts to relate the protein and amino acid requirements of fishes to the ‘growing animal’ with respect to its dietary feeding regime, developmental status, position in the aquatic food chain, and its physical environment and critically assesses the methodology employed by researchers for the measurement of nutrient requirements.
