Taurine requirement for growth and nitrogen accretion of European sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax , L.) juveniles

A growth trial was conducted to determine the dietary taurine requirement for European sea bass juveniles fed plant feedstuffs-based diets. Eight isoproteic (45% crude protein) and isolipidic (18% crude lipid) diets were formulated containing a mixture of plant feedstuffs and fish meal (corresponding to 80% and 20% of total dietary protein, respectively) and taurine (Tau) levels ranging from 0.2 to 1.7% (diets 0.2Tau; 0.3Tau; 0.4Tau; 0.5Tau;...
