“…These results indicate that the physiology of sea bass was not greatly influenced when fed diets with approximately 59% plant nutrients (Table 1). These findings corroborate those previously reported for the species (Coutinho et al., 2017; Kotzamanis et al., 2020; Martins et al., 2019) and are also in line with several earlier studies reviewed by El‐Sayed (2014); Salze and Davis, (2015), and Sampath, Rathnayake, et al. (2020) for other fish species.…”

“…Similar conclusions were drawn by Kotzamanis et al. (2020) when sea bass were fed diets with varied FM and T contents and muscle amino acid composition remained unaltered. This may be because body proteins are synthesized depending on the DNA genetic information so the EAA composition of a specific fish protein is similar regardless of diet formulation (Yamamoto et al., 2000).…”

“…Similarly, several researchers have reported that dietary T‐supplementation to PMX‐ or for FM‐based sea bass feeds might have a positive effect on growth performance and health status (Martinez et al., 2004; Martins et al., 2019; Rimoldi et al., 2016; Saleh et al., 2020; Sampath, Rathnayake, et al., 2020; Sampath, Zhang, et al., 2020). In contrast, other studies demonstrated that low‐FM diets enriched with 1% T did not significantly enhance juvenile sea bass growth or feed utilization efficiency (Coutinho et al., 2017; Feidantsis et al., 2014; Kotzamanis et al., 2020).…”

“…The optimal inclusion level of dietary T for sea bass varied from 0.2%–1.0% by fish size. Juvenile sea bass (Feidantsis et al., 2014; Kotzamanis et al., 2020; Martins et al., 2019; Saleh et al., 2020) required a 1% T content in their diet, whereas Martinez et al. (2004) and Rimoldi et al.…”

The effects of either taurine (T) or sodium diformate (NDF) supplementation to a low fishmeal (FM) plant‐based diet on growth, health status, immunity and muscle cellularity of European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, were investigated. Four isoproteic (44% CP) and isolipidic (17% L) diets were produced to contain 46% FM as a control diet, or 20% FM and a mixture of plant nutrients (PMX). The plant‐mix diets were either supplemented or not with 1% T or 0.3% NDF. Each diet was fed to triplicate groups of seabass (mean, 13.71 g) for 13 weeks. Fish fed the PMX diet supplemented with T or NDF was recorded to have a significantly higher feed intake, weight gain and a better feed conversion rate than other groups. The diet composition did not significantly alter the biochemical or essential amino acid composition of fish, except for the slightly reduced lipid content of T‐fed fish in comparison to the PMX‐fed fish. These supplements further enhanced blood profile, immunity response and myocytes ultrastructure relative to fish fed the PMX diet. Accordingly, these results suggest that supplementation of low‐FM/plant‐mix diet with either 1% T or 0.3% NDF can promote growth, normalize physiological conditions and improve the striated muscle structure of juvenile seabass.

“…Plant protein meals, such as soybean, rapeseed, and corn/wheat gluten meals, have been used successfully in several studies as ingredients for fish feeds [10][11][12][13][14]. Currently, commercial feeds contain blends of plant and fish proteins and oils [2,4].…”

A nutritional study was conducted to evaluate the inclusion of the green microalga Scenedesmus sp. at 5% (SCE-5) as an alternative fishmeal ingredient. This microalga was tested with four replicates during 45 days using isolipidic (18%), isoproteic (48%), and isoenergetic (1.9 MJ kg−1) diets. Fish fed Scenedesmus sp. showed similar growth and feed efficiency parameters as the control group. Regarding the digestive function, the SCE-5 diet enhanced the activity of alkaline pancreatic proteases, whereas it did not affect that of intestinal enzymes involved in nutrient absorption. No histological alterations were found in fish fed the SCE-5 diet, although a higher density of goblet cells in the anterior intestine and changes in gut microbiome diversity were found in this group, which collectively suggests positive effects of this green microalga on the intestine. Dietary Scenedesmus sp. improved the fillet’s nutritional quality in terms of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels, although it also increased its yellowish color. The overall results of this study showed that Scenedesmus sp. is a safe ingredient for compound feeds in rainbow trout when considering fish growth performance, animal condition, and health parameters, although it substantially affected the color of the fillet that may potentially affect consumers’ preferences.
