Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the amino acids and protein requirements of
fish. Proteins are the major organic material in fish tissue, making up about 65–75% of the …

Twenty lots of 200 chinook salmon were adapted to and fed a purified diet containing 18 L-
amino acids as the only source of protein. Amino acid-deficient diets were formed by …

An amino acid test diet was formulated which would maintain chinook salmon fingerlings for
at least a 14-week growing period under the experimental conditions used. The amino acid …

Tentative qualitative and quantitative amino acid requirements have been reported for the
major species of fish reared for market or as replacement stocks for natural waters. Most …

Sockeye salmon fingerlings were adapted to and fed a test ration containing 17 L-amino

Using the latest research in fish nutrition, this volume revises and combines the 1981 edition
on coldwater fish and the 1983 edition on warmwater fish and shellfish. In addition to …

Growth studies were conducted with chinook salmon fingerlings (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) to determine the minimal requirements for isoleucine, leucine, valine and …

Results of previous investigations have shown that ten amino acids are indispensable for
chinook salmon: arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine …

There are large variations in the measured essential amino acid requirements of different
species of fish when expressed as a proportion of the diet. The question of whether or not …
