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%,...
