Protein and Energy Requirements for Maintenance and Growth in Juvenile Meagre Argyrosomus regius (Asso, 1801) (Sciaenidae)

Abstract: The meagre is a carnivorous species and might be a suitable candidate species for the diversification of aquaculture in the Mediterranean region. This is based on its high growth and flesh quality. Nevertheless, there is little information available about its growth rates and nutrient requirements. The objective of this study was to determine the protein and energy requirements of juvenile meagre (Argyrosomus regius). Two trials for different weights of 53 and 188 g were conducted with rations from starvation … Show more

“…A balanced ratio of protein and non-protein energy in feed can increase the efficiency of protein metabolism as an energy source and its utilization for fish growth (Sankian et al, 2017;Li et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2017). The optimal ratio of protein to energy, according to Jauralde et al (2021), describes the point of equilibrium between the amount of energy required for maintenance and growth. If an appropriate C:P ratio is obtained, it is possible to reduce the protein level in the feed without impairing fish growth and enhancing the growth response (Carneiro et al, 2020& Aboseif et al, 2022.…”

“…Generally, the dietary protein levels needed for carnivorous and omnivorous species are 40–55% and 35–45% respectively. The feeding rates for fingerlings range from 3.0% to 5.0% (Alvarez‐González et al, 2001; Jauralde et al, 2021; Tan et al, 2012; Tang et al, 2012). High nutrients including high dietary protein levels usually lead to high mesenteric fat, low reproduction ability and fry quality.…”
