Evaluation Of Soybean Meal As A Protein Source And Its Effect On Growth And Nitrogen Utilization Of Black Sea Turbot (Psetta Maeotica) Juveniles, Murat Yigit, Sebahattin Ergün, Ali Türker, Burcu Harmantepe, Adnan Erteken

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

Three experimental diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous (550 g kg-1 protein) and iso-caloric (20.5 kJ gross energy g-1 diet) by substituting fish meal (FM) for defatted soybean meal (SBM) at levels of 0, 10 and 20% replacement in order to evaluate the effects of replacing FM with defatted SBM in diets for Black Sea turbot. Diets were fed to triplicate groups of young Black Sea turbot (mean initial weight of 30.2 ± 0.2 g) for 60 days. Turbot fed all three diets had no significant difference (P > 0.05) in final weight, specific growth rate, nutrient utilization, Nitrogen loss or …
