Effects of dietary taurine supplementation to a casein-based diet on growth performance and taurine distribution in two sizes of juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

Feeding trials were conducted to investigate the effects of dietary taurine on feeding, growth, feed utilization and taurine distribution in tissues of juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) with initial average weight of 6.3 ± 0.01 g (Trial 1) and 165.9 ± 5.01 g (Trial 2). The basal diet was supplemented with 0.0% (control), 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% taurine to formulate four isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets (Diet 1 (0.0%), Diet 2 (0.5%), Diet...
