Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on juvenile marine false clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) to evaluate how different levels of dietary protein affect growth and the role of insulin-like growth factor IGF-II.
- The experiment involved feeding 300 clownfish larvae with various protein levels (35% to 55%) over 12 weeks, finding that a 50% protein diet resulted in the best growth performance.
- The research indicated that IGF-II expression increased with higher protein diets, suggesting it could be a useful marker for assessing growth in these fish.
