Effects of dietary protein and lipid levels on blood and muscle biochemical composition of Sobaity seabream juveniles (Sparidentex hasta)

In this study, the effects of dietary protein and lipid levels were designed on blood and muscle biochemical composition of Sobaity seabream juveniles (Sparidentex hasta). The six treatments were examined including three dietary protein levels (35, 40 and 45%) and two dietary lipid levels (7 and 14%) with three triplicates. Fish with mean initial weight 36.55±0.28 g were randomly stocked in eighteen 300 l polyethylene tanks and were fed thrice daily to satiation for 56 days. According to the results, at the 14% dietary lipid level, plasma total protein index increased significantly (P
