The effect of taurine supplementation to a plant-based diet for barramundi (Lates calcarifer) with varying methionine content
The effect of variable taurine inclusion (Tau) (1g/kg DM to 15g/kg DM) in the diet of juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer) on growth and nutrient utilization was investigated at three levels of dietary methionine (Met) supplementation. Diets were fed to juvenile barramundi (starting weight: 26.8g)...
