14527

In this study, the availability of soybean meal as a substitute crude protein source for fish meal was evaluated in juvenile sharpsnout sea bream (Diplodus puntazzo) (6.73g on average) fed diets containing several levels of soybean meal. After 12 weeks of an experimental period, the average live weights were determined as 35.57, 33.81, 29.87, and 24.62 g. respectively according to the replacement rates as 0, 25, 50 and 75%. As a conclusion, it was determined that although fish meal was the primary crude protein source for sharpsnout seabream, any negative response was not noticed when the fish meal rate was increased up to 25% and replaced with soybean meal during the experiment.
