“…The efficacy of dietary taurine supplementation is beginning to be realized in both marine and freshwater fish. Improved growth performance has been reported in yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) (Matsunari, Takeuchi, Takahashi, & Mushiake, 2005;Takagi et al, 2008), Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) (Han et al, 2014;Kim, Matsunari, Nomura, et al, 2008;Kim et al, 2007;Kim, Takeuchi, Akimoto et al, 2005;Kim, Takeuchi, Yokoyama, et al, 2005), red sea bream (Pagrus major) Takagi et al, 2010), cobia (Rachycentron canadum) (Lunger, McLean, Gaylord, Kuhn, & Craig, 2007), turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) (Conceicao et al, 1997;Qi et al, 2012), parrot fish (Oplegnathus fasciatus) (Lim et al, 2013), common dentex (Dentex dentex) (Chatzifotis, Polemitou, Divanach, & Antonopoulou, 2008), white grouper (Epinephelus Aeneus) (Koven Peduel, Gada, Nixon, & Ucko, 2016) and rainbow trout (Gaylord, Teague, & Barrows, 2006;Gaylord et al, 2007). On the other hand, growth was not significantly improved with taurine supplementation in juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio) , stocker-sized channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) (Robinson, Allen, Poe, & Wilson, 1978) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) (Frederick, Coyle, Durborow, Bright, & Tidwell, 2016).…”

Juvenile channel catfish (5.6 g/fish) were fed a basal diet that contained major protein (soybean meal, cottonseed meal) and energy (ground corn grain, wheat middlings) ingredients that were derived from plant sources. The basal diet was supplemented with three levels of crystalline taurine to provide 1, 2 and 5 g/kg taurine. In addition, a fifth diet that contained 80 g/kg menhaden fishmeal formulated with the same plant‐source ingredients was included as the positive control diet. Fish were fed the five diets once daily for 12 weeks. Weight gain was highest in catfish fed taurine at 2 g/kg (47.8 g/fish) compared to catfish fed the control basal diet (40.8 g/fish) and 80 g/kg fishmeal diet (41.1 g/fish) (p < .05). Among the taurine‐supplemented diets, weight gain was lowest in catfish fed taurine at 5 g/kg. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was significantly improved in fish fed diets supplemented with taurine at 2 g/kg compared to all other treatments (p < .01). Survival during the growth study ranged from 98.0 to 99.0% (p > .05) for all treatments. The results suggest taurine supplementation to juvenile channel catfish may improve weight gain and FCR.

“…Fish meal resource is dwindling and its price is higher (Metian, 2009). Thus, taurine may be the limiting nutrient in fish meal replacement diets (Koven, Peduel, Gada, Nixon, & Ucko, 2016). Relative to fish meal or other animal protein, taurine is absent from DOI: 10.1111/are.13665 terrestrial plant proteins.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary taurine supplementation on growth, immunity and resistant to dry stress of rice field eel (Monopterus albus) fed low fish meal diets. Six isonitrogenous and isolipid diets (32% fish meal) supplemented with six taurine concentrations (0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5 g/kg; designated as T 0 , T 0.03 , T 0.06 , T 0.09 , T 0.12 and T 0.15 groups, respectively) were prepared.A diet including 42% fish meal (FM group) was also included as a reference. The results showed that specific growth rate (SGR) in FM group was significantly higher than that in lower fish meal treatments. SGR significantly increased and slowly decreased with the increase in taurine supplementation level. Lipase activity value in intestine of M. albus fed FM diet was maximum, and with the increase in taurine supplementation level, lipase activity significantly increased and slowly decreased. The FM group had relative higher total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) content, catalase (CAT), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), and lyzozyme (LZM) activities in serum than the other groups. With the increase in dietary taurine supplementation level, the CAT, T-SOD, T-AOC and LZM activities in serum significantly increased and then decreased. In the dry stress experience, the adrenaline (AD), cortisol (COR), glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (CHOL), and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, T-AOC content, CAT and T-SOD activities in serum of M. albus in the four groups first increased and reached the peak at 2 hr, and then decreased under air-exposure stress. Compared to the FM group, T 0.15 group had relative higher T-AOC content, CAT and T-SOD activities, and lower AD, COR GLU, TC and MDA concentrations.

“…Nutrient deficiencies such as essential amino acids, taurine and phospholipids lead to the unsuccessful fish meal replacement especially for marine carnivorous fish (Koven, Peduel, Gada, Nixon & Ucko, ; Sales, ). However, in the formulation of soybean products‐based feed where low fish meal was used, studies have shown that the supplementation of ingredients such as corn gluten meal, taurine and lecithin is important (Biswas et al., ; Deng et al., ; Kato et al., ; Luo et al., ; Pereira & Oliva‐Teles, ; Sevgili et al., ).…”

Hybrid grouper juveniles (body weight, 6.1 AE 0.7 g) (brown-marbled grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus 9 giant grouper, E. lanceolatus) were fed with six isoproteic (50% crude protein) and isolipidic (12% crude lipid) feeds containing different levels of soy protein concentrate (SPC) in replacement of fish meal (SPC at 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% protein) and control feed (SPC0) for 6 weeks. Hybrid grouper juveniles were cultured in 100-L fibreglass tank equipped with flow-through water system and fed twice a day to apparent satiation level. The highest and lowest growth was recorded in fish fed SPC20 and SPC60 respectively. However, growth of SPC20 was not significantly higher than those fed SPC0, SPC30, SPC40 and SPC50 (p > .05). A decreasing growth trend was observed with the increasing level of SPC from feed SPC40 to SPC60. A noticeable better feed utilization was also observed in fish fed SPC0, SPC20, SPC30, SPC40 and SPC50 compared to fish fed SPC60 (p < .05). The fish condition factor, hepatosomatic index, viscerosomatic index and whole body proximate content of the fish were not affected by the graded levels of SPC. However, the body lipid content was significantly lower in fish fed SPC40 to SPC60 (p < .05). The apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of protein and lipid was significantly higher in fish fed SPC0 and SPC20 compared to other dietary treatments (p < .05). Based on the regression analysis on specific growth rate, the study suggests that the hybrid grouper grow best at 21.4% and can utilize up to 50% inclusion level of SPC in protein without significantly affect their growth and its body condition.
