“…In the present study, taurine supplementation elevated serum SOD and GSH-Px activities, which were consistent with the published findings that taurine supplementation increased SOD and GSH-Px activities in juvenile black carp M. piceus ( Zhang et al, 2018 ), yellow catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco ( Li et al, 2016 ) and totoaba Totoaba macdonaldi ( Banuelos-Vargas et al, 2014 ) fed with plant-based diets. This suggested that taurine could upregulated the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes and improved the oxidation resistence.…”

A feeding trial was conducted to assess the feasibility of supplementing taurine in soy-based diets for juvenile starry flounder Platichthys stellatus. The basal diet (Crude protein 66.5%, crude lipid 8.5%) was supplemented with 0 (control), 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5% taurine to formulate six test diets. Each diet was fed to 40 juvenile fish (22.25 g) in triplicate tanks (120 L) attached to a sea water circulation-system. Fish were fed twice daily by hand to apparent satiation during the 56-d trial. At the end of the trial, fish were counted and weighed for the analyses of growth performance, diet utilization and survival after a 24-h fast. Blood, intestines and muscles were collected for the analyses of serum oxidation resistance, digestive enzymes and body compostion. Livers were collected from the remaining fish at 4 h post-feeding for metabolic enzymes analyses. The results showed that fish fed diets supplemented with 1.0–2.5% taurine grew from 22.25–22.26 g to 47.88–50.40 g with higher average weight gain (25.62–28.12 vs 23.07 g ), specific growth rate (1.37–1.46 vs 1.27%/d ), feed intake (1.04–1.06 vs 1.00%/d), protein efficiency (2.50–2.61 vs 2.44) and lower feed conversion rate (0.84–0.83 vs 0.89) than the control treatment. Diets supplemented with 1.5–2.5% taurine significantly elevated the activities of pepsin (2.47–2.55 vs 2.22, U mg−1 prot), trypsin of distal intestine(14.55–15.24 vs 11.94, U mg−1 prot), hepatic glucokinase (126.62–129.42 vs 105.56, U mg−1 prot) and fatty acid synthetase (125.56-136.89 vs 108.45, U mg−1 prot). All diets supplemented with taurine increased the activities of lipase (32.23–36.67 vs 29.53, U g−1 prot) and trypsin (35.85–37.89 vs 33.54, U mg−1 prot) of proximal intestine, hepatic aspartate transaminase (736.990–832.38 vs 699.24, U mg−1 prot), alanine aminotransferase (477.40–551.86 vs 373.97, U mg−1 prot) and glycogen synthase (2.16–2.59 vs 1.97, U mg−1 prot), as well as serum superoxide dismutase (4.33–4.59 vs 4.07, U mg−1 prot ) and glutathione peroxidase (42.23–50.25 vs 39.17, mol mg−1 prot). Therefore, taurine supplementation benefits juvenile starry flounder growth, digestion, nutrients metabolism and oxidation resistance. The optimal taurine requirement for starry flounder is 1.75%, and the recommended supplementation level is at least 1.6% for maximizing growth of fish fed a low-fishmeal diet (13.6%).

“…Carnivorous fish have a lower capacity of taurine biosynthesis than herbivorous fish. Supplementation of dietary taurine increases the utilization of plant protein in carnivorous fish (Zhang et al 2018). So, taurine improves the growth performance of several carnivorous fish, including turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) (Liu et al 2018;Wei et al 2018;Zhang et al 2019), red sea bream (Pagrus major) (Takagi et al 2010), Japanese flounder (P. olivaceus) (Kim et al 2017) and yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) (Khaoian et al 2014;Nguyen et al 2015).…”

“…Some fish species require dietary taurine supplementation due to a reduced ability to biosynthesize taurine inside their body (El-Sayed 2013). Several studies have shown increased growth performance and feed efficiency of fish fed low fish meal diet with taurine supplementation (Magalhães et al 2019;Sampath et al 2020;Zhang et al 2018). Taurine and trimethyl taurine (TMT) exert different effects on protein metabolism, although they have similar structures.…”

“…Taurine deficiency may lead to poor growth performance, green liver syndrome and psychological abnormalities of fish fed with fish meal-free diets (Takagi et al 2008). Moreover, there are many primary responses of fish that have been identified involving dietary taurine supplementation and include survival rate (Rotman et al 2017), growth performance (Poppi et al 2018;Zhang et al 2018), feed utilization (Al-Feky et al 2016b;Ferreira et al 2014;Peterson and Li 2018;Salze et al 2018b;Satriyo et al 2017), body composition (Hernandez et al 2018;Hoseini et al 2017), whole body taurine (Hoseini et al 2018;Salze et al 2018a;Stuart et al 2018), anti-oxidative capacity (Abdel-Tawwab and Monier 2018;Zhang et al 2018), immune response (Khaoian et al 2014;Kim et al 2017;Koven et al 2016;López et al 2015;Nguyen et al 2015;Richard et al 2017;Zhang et al 2019), cellular and metabolic responses (Feidantsis et al 2014), hyperplasia muscle growth (Sampath et al 2020), egg fertilization (Sarih et al 2019) and reproductive performance (Al-Feky et al 2016a;Guimaraes et al 2018). Taurine is a vital ingredient in fish nutrition, especially when feeding with plant protein-based diets.…”

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid in fish nutrition. The present study addressed the practical application of examining published data on fish nutrition over the past 20 years, emphasizing the topic of taurine by using computational tools and their applications. According to the published articles, an increased linear growth of research occurred, with Japanese flounder being the most examined fish species. Dietary taurine supplementation has several beneficial effects in fish nutrition, such as survival, growth, feed utilization, protein and energy retention, intermediate metabolism, anti-oxidation, anti-stress, disease resistance, muscle texture and reproductive performance. Also, there are negative effects in some species. Dietary taurine exerted effects on several gene expressions and enzyme activities; these are important in taurine metabolism in fish. These genes and enzymes included taurine transporter (TauT), cysteine dioxygenase (CDO), cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO), cysteine sulfonate decarboxylase (CSD) and pretrypsinogen (Ptry). Plant protein-based diets with taurine supplementation are recommended because of the absence of taurine in plant protein.

Background: Taurine is a conditional essential amino acid for fish. A study was conducted to investigate the compensating effect of supplemental taurine in diets for red seabream (Pagrus major) on impaired growth performance by fish meal (FM) replacement with soybean meal (SM) at low water temperature (14.15 ± 1.95°C). Methods: A FM-based diet was considered as a high FM diet and three other experimental diets were formulated to replace FM with SM by 20, 35, or 50% (HFM, SM20, SM35, or SM50, respectively) without taurine and other four diets were formulated by adding 1% taurine to the diets (HFM-T, SM20-T, SM35-T, or SM50-T, respectively). Triplicate groups of fish (108.9 ± 1.58 g/fish) were distributed into 24 polyvinyl circular tanks (215 L) with 20 fish per tank and fed one of the diets to satiation for 20 weeks. Results: Growth performance and feed utilization of red seabream were significantly improved by the dietary taurine supplementation. SM20-T and SM35-T diets increased fish growth that are comparable to HFM diet. Feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and protein efficiency ratio of fish fed SM20-T and SM35-T diets were not significantly different from those of HFM group. Dietary taurine supplementation in each FM replaced group numerically increased innate immunity of the fish. Lysozyme and superoxide dismutase activities were significantly decreased in fish fed SM35, SM50, and SM50-T diets compared to those of fish fed HFM diet while they were not significantly lower in SM20, SM20-T, SM35, and SM35-T groups. Glutathione peroxidase activity was significantly lower in fish group fed SM50 diet while SM50-T group did not significantly lower compared to that of HFM group. The relative expression level of hepatic IGF-1 mRNA was improved in fish fed taurine-supplemented diets compared to their respective SM diets. Conclusions: Growth performance and feed utilization of red seabream can be accelerated or restored by 1% taurine supplementation when they are fed high level of SM up to 35% in diets during low water temperature season.
