The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of dietary protein source on fish growth, nutrient utilization, plasma variables and hepatic gene expression in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fishmeal (FM) and soy protein isolate (SPI) were used as the main sources of protein in...
