Figure 8From: PepT1 mRNA expression levels in sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed different plant protein sources Sea bream body weight during the experiment. Fish were fed for 140 days with one of the following four diet formulations (43% protein/21% lipid): control fast growth-promoting diet (C) and three diets with the same formulation but in which 15% of the fish meal was substituted by protein concentrates either from lupine (LPC), chick pea (CPC), or green pea (PPC). Significant differences (p < 0.05) were only observed for fish body weight after 140 days of feeding.Back to article page
