The effects of methionine and/or taurine supplementation on growth performance, amino acid profile, and gene expression of enzymes related to sulfur amino acid metabolism were evaluated in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in an 8-week feeding trial. A 2×2 factorial arrangement was designed to ev...
