“…Furthermore, as the need for increased incorporation of plant-based ingredients in aquafeed intensifies, information on EAA requirements is of the utmost importance to optimize a nutritional balance diet for greater amberjack. Very few studies have published data on the dietary lysine requirements of Mediterranean fish species such as gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata (Marcouli et al, 2006), European sea bass, Dicentrarhus labrax (Tibaldi & Lanari, 1991) and meagre, Argyrosomus regius (Kotzamanis et al, 2018). On the other hand, several studies have investigated the dietary lysine needs of other farmed finfish species, for instance, Atlantic salmon Salmon salar, (Espe et al, 2007;Anderson et al, 1993), rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Lee et al, 2020;Yun et al, 2016;Rodehutscord et al, 1997;Walton et al, 1986), common carp, Cyprinus carpio (Nose, 1979), channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Robinson et al, 1980), dusky kob, Argyrosomus japonicus (Adesola et al, 2018) and Silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii (Ebeneezar et al, 2019), significantly contributing to the development and production of cost-effective diets for the aquaculture industry.…”
