Effects of plant proteins as food on growth performance, carcass quality and plasma biochemical parameters of Beluga juvenile (Huso huso)

Abstract

The possibility of replacing fish meal with plant protein sources (soybean meal and corn gluten) for beluga (initial body mass 159.55±2.14g) was studied in autumn 2009. Experimental feeds with 46.5% of crude protein, GE: 5.4 Cal g-1 in four replacement levels: 0, 270, 450 and 660 gr kg1 were prepared and fish were fed on the diets for 60 days. Significant differences were found in growth performance (P
