Abstract
ABSTRACT The effect of graded dietary levels (0.1-5%) of four amino acids (alanine, arginine, glutamic acid, and glycine) on juvenile striped bass, Morone saxatilis, feed consumption was assessed. For 2 days, groups of bass were maintained in 20-L tanks and fed either a basal (control) diet or the basal diet enhanced with amino acids, and the amount of feed consumed was quantified. Of the four amino acids tested, only glutamic acid and glycine enhanced feed consumption. Though glutamic acid was effective at all levels tested, glycine was effective only when added to the diet at 0.1-0.5%. Simple additions of certain amino acids to the diet can cause a positive effect on feed intake in juvenile striped bass within a very short period.
