Effect of Dietary Taurine Supplementation on Growth Performance and Body Composition of Snapper, Lutjanus colorado Juvenile

This study evaluated the effect of soybean meal (SBM) diets supplemented with taurine (T) on growth performance andbody composition of red snapper (Lutjanus colorado). Six isonitrogenous (50%) and isoenergetic (20 MJ/kg) diets wereformulated with 20%, 40% and 60% proportions of SBM substitution of total fish meal. Three diets of fish meal protein werereplaced by soybean protein which were supplemented with 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8% of taurine (SBM20+T, SBM40+T andSBM60+T), respectively, or without taurine supplementation (SBM20, SBM40 and SBM60). Each diet was fed to triplicategroups of 20 juvenile snapper (average initial weight 3.1± 0.41g) to apparent satiation three times a day for an 8-week period.The fish fed the SBM40+T diet with a total taurine concentration of 16.3 g kg-1 diet had a significantly greater final weight,specific growth rate, and a lower feed conversion ratio than fish fed the other diets. There were significant differences in feedintake and whole-body composition between fish fed different dietary treatments. Survival was not affected by theexperimental diets. Considering growth, feed intake and body composition of red snapper, soybean meal could partiallyreplace fish meal by up to 40% and supplemented with taurine in practical feeds.
