Effects of dietary taurine on whole body and tissue taurine levels of guppy [Poecilia reticulata] and eel [Anguilla anguilla]
Guppy (subadult) and eel (young and elver) were grown by feeding basal and taurine-supple-mented diets to investigate the effects of dietary taurine on taurine levels in whole body and some tissues. Guppy receiving the taurine-supplemented diet had higher taurine contents in both the whole body and...

Zusammenfassung: | Guppy (subadult) and eel (young and elver) were grown by feeding basal and taurine-supple-mented diets to investigate the effects of dietary taurine on taurine levels in whole body and some tissues. Guppy receiving the taurine-supplemented diet had higher taurine contents in both the whole body and muscle tissue than fish fed with the basal diet. Young eel reared on the supple-mented diet retained slightly higher taurine levels in the whole body and tissues tested. Taurine contents in the whole body of elver eel increased with an increase in dietary taurine level. For the elvers, taurine added at the different levels, had little effect on nonprotein nitrogen contents in the whole body. |
