水解蛋白替代鱼粉对大菱鲆生长及生理代谢的影响

分别以水解鱼粉及水解大豆浓缩蛋白全部替代饲料中的鱼粉,投喂体质量(58.50±0.65) g的大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)幼鱼56 d,研究水解蛋白替代鱼粉对其生长及生理代谢的影响。结果表明:水解蛋白替代鱼粉降低了试验鱼的生长性能,提高了饲料系数,但对成活率无显著性影响;各组鱼的脏体比、肝体比和肠体比均无显著性差异;水解蛋白提高了肌肉中的水分含量,降低了粗蛋白含量;水解蛋白提高了血清中谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)活力,降低了总蛋白(TP)、白蛋白(ALB)、甘油三酯(TG)、胆固醇(TCHO)和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)含量,而对血清中生长激素(GH)、三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T3)、己糖激酶(HK)含量没有显著性影响。水解鱼粉显著提高了血清中皮质醇(COS)、丙酮酸激酶(PK)含量,降低了补体3(C3)含量;水解大豆浓缩蛋白提高了免疫球蛋白M(IgM)含量,降低了去甲肾上腺素(NE)、丙酮酸激酶(PK)含量。研究表明,水解蛋白完全替代鱼粉会降低试验鱼的生长性能,造成肝脏功能受损,改变鱼体内分泌。     

发酵桑叶替代鱼粉对大口黑鲈生长、脂质代谢与抗氧化能力的影响

在基础饲料中用发酵桑叶分别替代0、15%、30%鱼粉,再对30%鱼粉替代水平饲料补充晶体赖氨酸和蛋氨酸,配制成4种等能等氮(CP 42%,GE 18 MJ/Kg)的实验饲料,分别表示为D_1、D2、D_3和D4,饲喂大口黑鲈(初始体质量10 g)8周,研究发酵桑叶替代鱼粉对大口黑鲈生长、脂质代谢和抗氧化能力的影响。结果显示,发酵桑叶替代30%鱼粉会显著降低大口黑鲈的终末体质量、特定生长率(SGR)、脏体比(VSI)和肝体比(HSI),补充晶体氨基酸(CAA)后会明显改善大口黑鲈的生长性能。各实验组蛋白质效率、饲料系数、摄食率、肥满度以及全鱼常规组成均无显著差异。发酵桑叶替代30%鱼粉会显著降低大口黑鲈血清总胆固醇(CHO)、甘油三酯(TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)含量,提高HDL-C/CHO和HDL-C/LDL-C比值。随发酵桑叶替代水平的增加,大口黑鲈血清低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)含量和丙二醛(MDA)含量显著降低,而超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性显著升高。研究表明,发酵桑叶替代适宜水平鱼粉不会影响大口黑鲈的生长,而替代鱼粉水平过高会显著抑制大口黑鲈的生长,但可以改善大口黑鲈的脂质代谢和机体抗氧化能力。饲料中补充晶体氨基酸可以提高桑叶的利用率,促进大口黑鲈生长。     

大豆浓缩蛋白替代鱼粉对大菱鲆摄食、生长及体组成的影响

研究了大豆浓缩蛋白(SPC)替代鱼粉对大菱鲆生长及生理生化指标的影响。5种饲料分别含有0、12.0%、25.0%、37.0%和49.5%的SPC以替代相应的鱼粉,并分别添加0、0.83%、1.65%、2.48%和3.30%的必需氨基酸混合物(L-lysine∶DL-methionine∶L-leucine∶Lvaline∶L-threonine=18∶6∶3∶2.5∶2)以平衡各组饲料的氨基酸组成。每种饲料投喂3个水族箱(300 L),每个水族箱放养实验鱼16尾,实验鱼初始体质量为(31.1±0.1)g。经过9周生长实验,结果显示随着饲料中SPC替代水平的升高,大菱鲆摄食率、特定生长率均显著下降(P0.001)。然而,当使用0~37.0%的SPC替代鱼粉时,各处理组饲料效率和蛋白质效率未出现显著差异(P0.05)。饲料中SPC替代鱼粉对大菱鲆鱼体水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪及灰分含量均无显著影响(P0.05)。各处理组干物质和粗蛋白的表观消化率之间也未出现显著差异(P0.05)。研究表明,在本实验条件下SPC不能作为大菱鲆饲料中替代鱼粉的有效蛋白源,造成SPC替代效果较差的主要原因是其对大菱鲆饲料适口性的显著影响。     

发酵豆粕替代鱼粉对凡纳滨对虾生长、免疫相关酶及免疫相关基因表达的影响

从免疫相关酶活及基因转录水平角度探讨发酵豆粕替代鱼粉对凡纳滨对虾健康生长及免疫机能机制的影响。实验设置5种实用饲料,以30%鱼粉组(FM)为对照组,分别用4%(FSM4)、8%(FSM8)、12%(FSM12)和16%(FSM16)的发酵豆粕,替代9.7%、19.4%、29.1%和38.8%鱼粉,分为4个处理组,饲养体质量为(7.62±0.23)g的凡纳滨对虾60 d后,统计生长性能,检测肌肉营养成分、血清及肝胰腺免疫相关酶活性,肝胰腺HSP70和鳃Toll受体、IMD、溶菌酶(LZM)免疫相关基因m RNA的表达水平。结果显示:(1)与对照组相比,发酵豆粕替代鱼粉对凡纳滨对虾成活率无显著影响;过低或过高水平的发酵豆粕替代鱼粉皆会影响凡纳滨对虾的特定生长率。(2)除FSM12组外,肌肉粗蛋白含量发酵豆粕替代组均低于对照组;粗脂肪含量随着发酵豆粕替代量的升高而降低,FSM16组最低。(3)血清谷丙转氨酶活FSM4和FSM16组显著高于对照组;谷草转氨酶活FSM4组最高,而FSM8组最低;除FSM12组外;碱性磷酸酶活性发酵豆粕替代组显著高于对照组;除FSM16组外,血清总蛋白与肝胰腺丙二醛含量发酵豆粕替代组与对照组无显著性差异。(4)随着发酵豆粕替代量增加,鳃Toll受体m RNA表达呈上升趋势,鳃IMD m RNA表达则呈先升后降趋势,发酵豆粕替代比例过高会降低鳃LZM m RNA表达水平,而肝胰腺HSP70 m RNA表达量则随着发酵豆粕替代比例增加呈上升趋势。综上所述,发酵豆粕适量替代鱼粉对凡纳滨对虾生长性能无显著影响,并可提高免疫相关酶活,改变免疫相关基因的表达。本实验条件下适宜发酵豆粕用量为8%~12%;替代量过高,会引起机体的过度应激。     

黄粉虫粉替代鱼粉对大菱鲆幼鱼生长性能的影响

从大菱鲆的生长指标、形体指标和体成分分析来考察替代效果,旨在为确定黄粉虫在大菱鲆饵料中的最适添加量提供依据。实验结果表明:随着黄粉虫添加量的增大,各实验组大菱鲆成活率(SR)无显著性差异(P0.05)。D4组,即添加量为24%,增重率(WGR)和特定生长率(SGR)最高,分别为(594.37,2.62),与对照组之间均无显著性差异(P0.05),但是均显著高于D2组(P0.05),即添加量为8%的实验组,总体呈现出先降低后升高趋势。各实验组肥满度(CF)之间无显著性差异(P0.05)。各实验组脏体比(VSI)和肝体比(HIS)随着黄粉虫添加量增大均有升高的趋势。各实验组全鱼粗蛋白和粗脂肪的湿基含量无显著差异(P0.05);肌肉粗蛋白和粗脂肪的湿基含量随着黄粉虫添加量的增大出现趋于减小的趋势,D3、D4和D5组肌肉粗蛋白均显著低于对照组(P0.05)。综上所述,黄粉虫可以作为蛋白源替代一部分鱼粉在大菱鲆饵料中添加,最适添加量在20%~25%之间。     

低鱼粉饮食中添加半胱氨酸对卵形鲳鲹幼鱼脂质和蛋白质代谢的影响

为研究半胱氨酸对低鱼粉引起的卵形鲳鲹(Trachinotus ovatus)幼鱼[(10.05±0.05) g]代谢紊乱的影响,采用动植物蛋白(鸡粉、大豆浓缩蛋白、发酵豆粕等)部分替代鱼粉制作卵形鲳鲹基础饮食,分别添加0 (C0组,对照组)、0.30%(C1组)、0.60%(C2组)、0.90%(C3组)和1.20%(C4组)半胱氨酸制成5种等氮等脂饲料。56 d的饲养实验结果显示：1)半胱氨酸通过激活S6K/PI3K/TOR/4E-BP1通路,提高卵形鲳鲹蛋白质合成代谢能力。补充0.6%～0.9%半胱氨酸通过上调肌肉核糖体蛋白S6激酶(S6K)、雷帕霉素靶蛋白(TOR)、磷脂酰肌醇-3-激酶(PI3K)和4E结合蛋白1 (4E-BP1)基因的mRNA水平,增加肌肉和血清总蛋白(Total protein, TP)含量与肌肉粗蛋白含量,降低血氨(Serum ammonia, SA)、肌肉和肝脏尿素氮(Urea nitrogen, UN)含量,促进肌肉蛋白质沉积。2)补充0.6%～0.9%半胱氨酸通过下调肌肉中过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ (PPARγ)基因的mRNA水平,降低乙酰辅酶A...     

三种蛋白源部分替代鱼粉对军曹鱼幼鱼生长和体成分的影响

配制5种等氮、等能的饲料,D1组以全鱼粉作为蛋白源,D2、D3组分别用脱脂豆粕替代10%和20%鱼粉,D4组以啤酒酵母粉替代10%鱼粉,D5组以玉米蛋白粉替代10%鱼粉,投喂体质量30～38g的幼鱼5周,研究3种蛋白源替代饲料中的鱼粉蛋白对大规格军曹鱼幼鱼生长和体成分的影响。试验结果表明,各组存活率差异不显著(P0.05);D3组体质量、质量增加率、饲料转化率、蛋白质效率和特定生长率均显著低于D1组(P0.05),而其他各组无显著差异(P0.05)。D3组全鱼粗脂肪含量显著低于D1、D5组(P0.05),肌肉灰分含量则显著高于其他组(P0.05);其他各组全鱼和肌肉常规营养成分无显著差异(P0.05)。D3组肝体指数显著低于其他组(P0.05),各组的脏体指数、肝脏脂肪含量和肥满度均无显著差异(P0.05)。试验结果提示,3种蛋白均可替代饲料中10%的鱼粉蛋白而不产生显著影响,但替代比例达到20%,就可能对大规格幼鱼的生长、饲料利用、体成分和健康产生不良影响。     

鸡肉粉替代鱼粉对大菱鲆生长和体组成的影响

以鸡肉粉替代饲料中0%、20%、40%、60%、80%的鱼粉,配制5种等氮等能饲料。选取初始体质量为(22.82±0.08)g的大菱鲆幼鱼180尾,随机分为5组(每组3个重复,每重复12尾)分别投喂一种饲料,试验周期为8周。试验结果表明,鸡肉粉替代鱼粉对大菱鲆幼鱼终末体质量、特定生长率、饲料系数以及质量增加率产生显著影响(P0.05)。鸡肉粉替代鱼粉对大菱鲆幼鱼鱼体水分、粗蛋白、灰分、能量含量未造成显著影响(P0.05),鸡肉粉替代组粗蛋白含量比对照组略微升高,粗脂肪含量比对照组显著降低(P0.05),鸡肉粉替代组之间的粗脂肪含量无显著差异(P0.05),但有升高的趋势。鸡肉粉替代40%鱼粉时,血清谷草转氨酶、谷丙转氨酶活力显著高于对照组(P0.05)。鸡肉粉替代鱼粉对肝脏谷丙转氨酶、谷草转氨酶活力影响显著(P0.05)。鸡肉粉替代鱼粉对主要营养成分的表观消化率产生显著影响(P0.05)。本试验结果表明,鸡肉粉替代20%的鱼粉对大菱鲆幼鱼生长最为有利。     

酶解豆粕替代鱼粉对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼幼鱼生长和主要代谢酶活力的影响

用酶解豆粕替代基础饲料中0、20%、40%、60%和80%的鱼粉,配制5种等氮等能的饲料(HSM0、HSM20、HSM40、HSM60、HSM80,其中HSM0为对照组)。研究了酶解豆粕替代鱼粉对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼(Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀×Epinephelus lanceolatus♂)幼鱼生长、体组成、消化和代谢的影响。结果显示:1)HSM40组幼鱼的增重率和特定生长率显著提高(P0.05),HSM80组增重率、特定生长率和蛋白质效率显著降低(P0.05),酶解豆粕替代40%以上时显著提高了幼鱼的摄食率。2)HSM40组肌肉粗蛋白含量显著升高(P0.05),HSM40~HSM80组全鱼和肌肉粗脂肪含量显著低于其余组(P0.05),HSM40和HSM60组全鱼粗灰分含量显著高于其余组(P0.05),各试验组肌肉氨基酸含量差异不显著(P0.05)。3)HSM80组胃蛋白酶和胰蛋白酶活力显著降低(P0.05);脂肪酶活力在替代量大于60%时显著降低(P0.05),各组淀粉酶活力无显著差异(P0.05)。4)各试验组谷草转氨酶活力与对照组无显著差异(P0.05),HSM80组谷丙转氨酶、脂肪酸合成酶活力显著降低(P0.05),HSM20和HSM40组葡萄糖-6-磷酸酶活力显著升高(P0.05)。综合考虑,酶解豆粕可替代60%的鱼粉而不降低珍珠龙胆石斑鱼幼鱼的生长,在替代量为40%时促进生长。     

不同工艺提取鳀蛋白质原料对黄颡鱼生长性能和生理健康的影响

为了比较不同生产工艺得到的酶解鳀鱼浆(HFP)、鳀鱼溶浆(SW)、酶解鳀鱼溶浆(HSW)、低温烘干鳀鱼粉(L-FM)和常规烘干鳀鱼粉(H-FM)在饲料中的应用效果。以初始体质量为(17.69±0.09) g的黄颡鱼幼鱼为养殖对象,以30%的秘鲁超级蒸汽鱼粉(FM组)为对照,在实验日粮中分别添加酶解鳀鱼浆、鳀鱼溶浆、酶解鳀鱼溶浆、低温烘干鳀鱼粉和常规烘干鳀鱼粉,经过8周池塘网箱养殖实验,比较5种不同生产工艺得到的鳀鱼蛋白质原料对黄颡鱼生长性能的影响。结果显示,(1)与FM组相比,L-FM和H-FM组的特定生长率(SGR)和饲料系数(FCR)均无显著差异;(2)以FM组为对照,HFP25实验组的SGR降低了3.30%,FCR升高了5.36%,无显著差异,而HFP45和HFP65组的SGR分别降低了10.99%、20.33%,FCR分别升高了21.43%、41.96%,差异显著,并且随着日粮中HFP添加量的增加,SGR、蛋白沉积率(PRR)和脂肪沉积率(FRR)均呈现下降趋势,差异显著;(3)HFP45、SW和HSW 3组实验饲料的结果中,HFP具有最高的SGR,而SW的SGR最低,差异不显...     

Effect of fish meal replacement by plant protein blend on amino acid concentration,transportation and metabolism in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of incorporating plant protein blend in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) diet on free amino acid (AA) concentration and the expression of genes related to peptide and AA transporters, key enzymes of AA metabolism and AA response (AAR) pathway. Fish were fed diets with fish meal (FM), or 400 g/kg FM replacement by plant protein blend for 9 weeks. Compared with the FM diet, PP40 diet did not affect plasma essential amino acid (EAA) concentration or AA metabolic enzymes gene in intestine, while it significantly upregulated all the detected peptide and neutral AA transporters gene. Results in muscle indicated that PP40 diet led to a great reduction of EAA concentrations and mRNA abundance of two kinds of AA transporters (SNAT2 and b^0,+AT), while it greatly increased the gene expression of L‐type and T‐type AA transporters (LAT2 and TAT1) and the enzymes of AA catabolism (BCKDH‐E2) and anabolism (asparagine synthetase). In addition, the expression of genes related to AAR pathway were all greatly stimulated by PP40 diet in muscle. Our results provide a molecular explanation for the change of tissues AA concentrations caused by plant protein in turbot, which maybe applicable for general carnivorous fish.     

Fishmeal replacement by mixed plant proteins and maggot meal on growth performance,target of rapamycin signalling and metabolism in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

Fishmeal could only be replaced by plant proteins at limited levels in aquafeeds, especially for carnivorous fish. In this study, an experiment was designed to evaluate the possibility of improving the utilization of plant proteins by maggot meal supplementation in turbot diet. Five diets were formulated: a reference diet (FM) containing 63% fishmeal and four experimental diets (35(0%), 35(3%), 40(0%), 40(3%)) in which fishmeal was substituted at different levels by plant proteins with 0–3% maggot meal. Turbot (4.90 ± 0.03 g) was fed with these diets for 9 weeks. Fishmeal was successfully replaced by plant proteins in turbot diet without growth reduction at 35% but not 40%. However, maggot supplementation (3%) at 40% plant protein replacement level achieved comparable growth performance with that of fishmeal. Maggot meal supplementation improved apparent digestibility coefficients, plasma hydroxyproline levels, intestine trypsin activities and activated target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling, all of which were decreased or down‐regulated after high plant protein replacement. Therefore, this study demonstrated maggot meal, a potential valuable protein source for turbot.     

The effect of ultrafiltered fish protein hydrolysate level on growth performance,protein digestibility and mRNA expression of PepT1 in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

The intention of the study was to investigate the effect of ultrafiltered fish protein hydrolysate (UF) level on growth, feed utilization, apparent digestibility coefficients and proximal intestine peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) mRNA level for juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.). Experimental diets (UF‐0, UF‐5, UF‐10, UF‐15 and UF‐20) were prepared containing about 68% plant protein, and fish meal protein was, respectively, replaced by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% UF of dietary protein. Diet PP contained about 78% plant protein, and diet CAA contained about 10% crystalline amino acid mixture. All diets were fed to seven triplicate groups of turbot (initial weight 16.05 ± 0.03 g) for 68 days. Fish fed diet UF‐10 had an increasing tendency in growth compared with diets contained UF, while dietary UF level was not significantly correlated with specific growth rate and feed intake. Feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio and protein productive value significantly correlated with dietary UF level, and fish fed diets contained low‐level UF had higher digestibility than that diets UF‐0, PP and CAA. There was a decreasing tendency in PepT1 expression level with dietary UF level. The results indicated that low‐level UF showed a positive effect on growth and feed utilization in juvenile turbot.     

Taurine alone or in combination with fish protein hydrolysate affects growth performance,taurine transport and metabolism in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of taurine (Tau) alone or in combination with fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) on growth performance, the expression of Tau transporter (TauT) and metabolic profile in juvenile turbot. FM, FPH0, FPH0+T, FPH10 and FPH10+T diets, respectively, contained 300, 150, 150, 80, and 80 g/kg fishmeal. FPH10 and FPH10+T diets contained 62 g/kg FPH. FPH0+T and FPH10+T diets were, respectively, prepared by supplementing the FPH0 and FPH10 diet formulations with 8 g/kg Tau. Specific growth rate was the highest in FM group and the lowest in FPH10 group. TauT mRNA levels in fish fed Tau supplemented diets were significantly lower than that in Tau unsupplemented diets. NMR‐based metabolomics analysis showed that Tau contents in liver of FPH0+T and FPH10+T were significantly higher than that of FM, FPH0 and FPH10. In muscle, Tau contents were significantly decreased in the FPH10+T versus FPH0 and the FPH10+T versus FPH10 comparisons. In conclusion, 62 g/kg FPH to replace fishmeal may not affect Tau synthesis, transport and metabolism. However, Tau supplemented alone or in combination with a certain level of FPH could reduce the requirement for Tau synthesis and transport and increased Tau levels in muscle and liver.     

Effects of silymarin on growth performance,antioxidant capacity and immune response in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

A 9‐week feeding trial was conducted using triplicate groups of turbot (6.50 ± 0.01 g) to explore the potential effects of silymarin. Three concentrations of silymarin (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) were added to the plant protein‐based diet. Fish were randomly distributed into fiberglass tanks (30 fish per tank). The results showed that adding 100 mg/kg silymarin significantly improved the growth performance, with no effects on feed utilization. The antioxidant capacity in the liver was significantly improved in the 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg silymarin groups by not only inducing the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase but also increasing the messager RNA (mRNA) expression levels of SOD, glutathione peroxidase, and peroxiredoxin 6. Meanwhile, supplying 100 and 200 mg/kg of silymarin enhanced the heights of villi and enterocytes. Silymarin supplementation reduced the mRNA expression of interleukin‐8 and tumor necrosis factor‐α but induced the expression of transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) in the intestine. These results indicated that silymarin was a potential nutraceutical that could enhance the growth performance and health status of turbot fed in a high plant protein diet. Adding 100 mg/kg silymarin to the plant protein diet achieved optimal performance in turbot.     

Effects of replacing fishmeal with different cottonseed meals on growth,feed utilization,haematological indexes,intestinal and liver morphology of juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

A ten‐week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing fishmeal with two differently processed cottonseed meals (CSM), namely XC and SC, separately in turbot (5.28 ± 0.02 g). Nine isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated without fishmeal replacement (FM), 150 g/kg (XC15, SC15), 250 g/kg (XC25, SC25), 350 g/kg (XC35, SC35) and 450 g/kg (XC45, SC45) of fishmeal replaced by CSM. Fishmeal was successfully replaced by XC in turbot diets without growth reduction at 350 g/kg, but not by SC even at 150 g/kg. The apparent digestibility coefficients of SC‐included diets were significantly lower than XC‐included diets at same replacement level. The activities of aspartate aminotransferase and superoxide dismutase were significantly affected in XC45 and SC45 group. The XC45 and SC‐included diets caused shortened distal intestine villi height and structural damage of liver compared with FM diet. This study indicated that different processing methods could affect the nutritional value of CSM and effect as a protein source for turbot. CSM with high quality could be an important alternative dietary protein source for juvenile turbot.     

Effects of dietary substitution of soya bean meal for fish meal on consumption, growth, and metabolism of juvenile giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii

A 42‐day study was conducted where prawns (0.32 g) were fed diets where 0, 20, 50, 75 and 100 g (100 g)^?1 of fish meal was replaced by soya bean meal (SBM). Feed intake was not significantly affected by inclusion of SBM, while specific growth rate and conversion efficiency decreased with increasing dietary SBM. Standard metabolic rate was significantly affected by dietary soya bean level, and was the highest in the 75 g (100 g)^?1 SBM group. Carcass dry matter, crude fat and energy value declined with increasing SBM inclusion. SBM, without supplementation of amino acids or other additives, was not suitable as a major protein source in freshwater‐prawn diets.     

Assessing feasibility of replacement of fishmeal with enzyme‐treated feather meal in the diet of juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

A feeding trial was conducted to examine the potential of enzyme‐treated feather meal (EFM) as a fishmeal substitute in the diet of turbot. Fishmeal (650 g/kg) was incrementally replaced (0, 160, 320, 480, 640 and 800 g/kg) by EFM (0, 80, 160, 240, 320, 400 g/kg) to prepare six experimental diets (Control, EFM8, EFM16, EFM24, EFM32 and EFM40). Diet EFM24 was supplemented with lysine and methionine to form seventh diet (EFM24 + AA). The eighth diet was formulated with 240 g/kg steam‐processed feather meal to replace 480 g/kg fishmeal (SFM24). Eight diets were each fed to triplicate groups of juvenile turbot (37.47 g) in a recirculating aquaculture system for 7 weeks. The results showed that fish fed diet EFM24 grew better than those fed SFM24 (p < .05). The growth performance, body composition and serum biochemical indices of fish fed diet EFM8 were not statistically different compared to the control treatment (p > .05). However, further increase in fishmeal replacement (32%–80%) affected negatively growth, nutrients digestibility, serum biochemical indices and body composition (p < .05). Supplementation of lysine and methionine (EFM24 + AA) significantly improved growth performance and diet utilization compared to EFM24 (p < .05). Altogether results suggested that the EFM could comprise 80 g/kg in a diet for juvenile turbot by concurrent reduction of the fishmeal content by 160 g/kg without lysine and methionine supplementation.
