Abstract
Fish feed compositions supplemented with up to 0.5% L-carnitine, preferably between 0.01% to 0.3% L-carnitine, produce greater growth gains, decreased fat levels in tissues, and increased resistance to stress (ammonia toxicity) in fish, as compared to fish fed the same diet without supplemental carnitine.
