Abstract:Taurine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid for fish, so its supplementation may improve feed conversion. This study evaluated the supplementation of taurine on growth performance, hematological and immunological parameters, production costs, and survival of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles raised in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). A control diet was formulated with 360 g kg -1 of crude protein without fish meal and without taurine supplementation (Control). From the cont… Show more
