Abstract

An 8-week growth trial was conducted to determine the dietary methionine requirement of juvenile swimming crabs (Portunus trituberculatus). Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets (49.5% crude protein and 18.2 MJ/kg gross energy) were formulated with dietary methionine supplement levels of 0, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.00% and 1.25%, respectively, and the measured values of dietary methionine contents were 0.61%, 0.77%, 0.97%, 1.18%, 1.44% and 1.64%, respectively. Each diet was randomly assigned to 3 replicates of 60 juvenile swimming crabs, and each replicate had 20 crabs with the average body weight of (11.27±0.13) g which were stocked in rectangle plastic baskets. The results showed that dietary methionine content had significant effects on weight gain ratio (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), protein productive value (PPV), feed efficiency (FE) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) (P<0.05). The WGR and SGR were increased significantly with the dietary methionine content increased from 0.61% to 0.97% (P<0.05), and had no significant differences with dietary methionine content increased from 0.97% to 1.44% (P>0.05), but when dietary methionine content increased from 1.44% to 1.64%, the WGR and SGR decreased significantly (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in whole body and muscle moisture, crude protein, crude lipid and ash contents among all groups (P>0.05), and there were no significant differences in the amino acid composition of muscle among all groups (P>0.05). The dietary methionine requirement is 1.07% of diet (2.16% of dietary protein) of juvenile swimming crabs estimated by broken-line model base on SGR as an evaluation index. Considering the dissolve-loss of crystalline amino acids in seawater, make the methionine dissolve-loss rate of diet immersed in seawater within 60 min is 10.21%, the determined methionine requirement of juvenile swimming crabs is 0.96% of diet (1.94% of dietary protein).
