Effects of dietary protein levels on growth performance and liver transcriptome changes in juvenile top-mouth culter Erythroculter ilishaeformis

An eight-week growth experiment was conducted to investigate the growth performance and liver transcriptome response of juvenile top-mouth culter Erythroculter ilishaeformis fed with different dietary protein levels. Six isoenergetic diets supplemented with protein at a level of 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%,...

Six isoenergetic diets supplemented with protein at a level of 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45% and 50% were prepared. The fish (initial mean weight 6.27 ± 0.30 g, 35 fish per tank, n = 3) were fed the six test diets in a recirculating aquaculture system at 30 ± 2 °C. Our results showed that weight gain rate (WGR) increased from 161.88% to 247.20% with the increase of dietary protein level from 25% to 40%, and then kept nearly stabilized with further increases in dietary protein concentration. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) showed an opposite trend to WGR.
