Abstract
Previous research has demonstrated that canola meal is a potential plant protein source for fish meal replacement in diets for many fish species. The present work is designed to be the first to assess both two types of Australian canola meal in regard to different processing methods (solvent extraction and expeller extraction) in use for barramundi (Asian seabass) diets. The research not only assesses effects of canola meal on growth performance and feed utilisation but also investigate effects of canola meal use on fish health status using broad approach including plasma chemistry, histology and gene expression analysis. The present findings provide practical information for barramundi's diet formulation using canola meal as an additional plant ingredient. These also provide implications of potential health effects relating to using canola meal for barramundi.
