Abstract :The effects of supplementing soybean meal-based diets with methionine on the growth and carcass-whole body chemical composition of T. zillii were studied during a 62-day feeding trial. A control diet prepared for T. zillii was supplemented with five different levels of free methionine, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(the same amounts of ?-cellulose were removed);. At the end of the study, the best growth rate and FCR were determined in the group fed a diet supplemented with 0.5% methionine insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(total 1.38% methionine+cystine);. Statistically significant effects of methionine supplementation on whole body protein content were determined insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p
