Methionine Requirement for Juvenile White Seabass, Atractoscion nobilis, Using Nonlinear Models

Two trials were conducted to estimate the methionine (Met) requirement of juvenile white seabass, Atractoscion nobilis . Diets were formulated to contain 40% crude protein, 10% lipids, and 0.51% cysteine. Graded levels of dl ‐Met were added to create seven diets with dietary Met levels ranging from 0.72 to 0.98%, and nine diets ranging from 0.64 to 1.28% Met in Trials A and B, respectively. Thermal‐unit growth coefficient was fitted to dietary...
