The aim of this study was to compare the effects of adding taurine to diet as a mixture with feed and also as spray on growth and feeding performance, body composition and physiological responses of Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer (13.62 ± 0.2 g). This study was carried out in a completely randomized design as three treatments with triplicates. Fish were fed with feed containing 0 (control group), 10 g/kg taurine in feed as mixture (treatment M) and 10 g/kg as spray on feed (treatment S) for 6 weeks. At the end of the experiment, final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio were significantly higher in treatment S compared to the control and treatment M (p < 0.05). Carcass fat and moisture contents significantly varied in treatment M with the control and with treatment S (p < 0.05). However, carcass protein value was not influenced by supplemented tuarine (p>0.05). The obtained results indicated that dietary taurine did not enhance Asian sea bass blood biochemical factors and non-specific immune response (p>0.05). Overall, it can be concluded that feeding Asian sea bass with the diet supplemented by 10 g taurine as spray for a period of 6 weeks enhances the growth and feeding performance.

Taurine (2 amino ethane sulfonic acid), is a semi-essential amino acid and an end product of the sulfur amino acid metabolism. The aim of this study was improving Rosy barb (Pethia conchonius) pigmentation. The fish (average weight 32 ± 7 mg and length 12.83 ± 1.82 mm) were divided into five different groups including control (basic diet without taurine and astaxanthin) and four different levels of taurine (0, 100, 250 & 500 mg/kg diet) with constant amount of astaxanthin (100 mg/kg diet) and fed for 60 days. The pigmentation analysis was done using digital camera photography and whole body biochemical carotenoid analysis and showed that the fish fed on 100 + 250 mg/kg of astaxanthin & taurine respectively had the highest levels of pigmentation. Adding taurine up to 250 (mg/kg diet) caused increasing total carcasses lipid, plasma triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL & HDL levels in compression to the fish fed on control diet (p<0.05). It could be concluded that dietary taurine supplementation could affect fish lipid metabolism and improve astaxanthin absorption, which lead to better pigmentation in Rosy barb.
