  • Description:
    Incorporating environmentally sustainable plant-based protein sources into aquafeeds is a priority for the aquaculture industry. Wheat gluten as a plant protein source has been successfully integrated into feeds for several fish species. However, unique nutritional requirements and the potential for intolerances necessitate the evaluation of plant-based diets by species. Previous work by our laboratory indicated that wheat gluten at less than 4% inclusion in a compound feed had a negative impact on growth and survival rate in juvenile cobia (Rachycentron canadum). In the current study, we evaluated the effects of wheat gluten inclusion in a plant-based diet in juvenile European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). No major differences were observed in terms of growth rate, plasma biochemical parameters, detectable induction of plasma IgM, IgT, or factors capable of binding gliadin in response to the inclusion of 4% dietary wheat gluten. However, plasma levels of taurine doubled in the fish fed wheat gluten, and there were considerable changes to the intestinal microbiome. Despite these measurable changes, the data suggest that dietary inclusion of 4% wheat gluten is well tolerated by juvenile European sea bass in a plant-based feed formulation.
