Replacement of fish meal by plant protein sources up to 75% induces good growth performance without affecting flesh quality in ongrowing Senegalese sole

Fishmeal replacement by mixed plant proteins and effect on growth and sensory attributes in on-growing turbot

“…Similarly to present findings on turbot, Cabral et al (2013) found no effect on sensory attributes in groups with 50%-100% However, these effects disappeared once the fish were refed for 2 months on feed with fish oil.…”

Replacing fishmeal and fish oil in industrial aquafeeds for carnivorous fish

“…For instance, in gilthead sea bream, fish fed an FM-based diet had higher moisture, lower lipid and higher (n-3) LC-PUFA levels than fish fed a plant-based diet (De Francesco et al, 2007). Similarly, in Senegalese sole 75% FM replacement by alternative plant protein blends did not influence most of the sensory evaluation descriptors of cooked slices (Cabral et al, 2013). Also in gilthead sea bream, a lack of differences in sensory analysis tests of fish fed diets with high levels of plant protein concentrates (pea and rice protein concentrates) was observed by Sanchez-Lozano et al (2009).…”

“…Several studies have been dedicated to the evaluation of such more practical diets in several carnivorous species (Gomez-Requini et al, 2004;Espe et al, 2006;Hansen et al, 2007;Altan et al, 2010;Cabral et al, 2011Cabral et al, , 2013Booth et al, 2012). Several studies have been dedicated to the evaluation of such more practical diets in several carnivorous species (Gomez-Requini et al, 2004;Espe et al, 2006;Hansen et al, 2007;Altan et al, 2010;Cabral et al, 2011Cabral et al, , 2013Booth et al, 2012).…”

Hydrolyzed feather meal as a partial fishmeal replacement in diets for European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) juveniles

“…Fish were adapted to the new conditions for 2 days (water temperature of 21 ± 1 ºC, salinity of 35 ‰, flow rate at 2 L min -1 and 12 h light/12 h dark photoperiod regime) and then each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate fiberglass tanks and fed until apparent satiation, three times a day, by automatic feeders. The amount of feed supplied to each tank was adjusted daily based on the presence or absence of uneaten feed in the tank (Borges et al, 2009;Cabral et al, 2013). Nitrogenous compounds and pH were monitored during the trial and kept at levels recommended for marine species.…”
