Cobia

TL;DR: There existed a significant difference in fish weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and net protein utilization (NPU) when the replacement level for fish mealprotein was increased from 40% to 50%, indicating that up to 40% of fish meal protein can be replaced by soybean meal protein without causing reduction in growth and protein utilization.

TL;DR: Some problems still exist in cobia culture that needs to be addressed and solved to increase production, including high mortality due to stress during transport from nursery tanks/inshore cages to grow-out cages and diseases during nursery and grow- out culture resulting in low survival, and consequently poor harvest.

TL;DR: Two growth trials were conducted to investigate the optimal concentrations of dietary protein and lipid for cobia, a pelagic fish showing great potential for offshore cage culture in tropical and subtropical waters.

TL;DR: It is obvious from the results from both of the present studies that taurine supplementation does have a significant impact on growth and feed efficiency of juvenile cobia when they are fed diets containing high levels of plant-based proteins as well as other biological indices.
