Taurine is found in greater concentration in aquaticfoods than in land animal foods and consequently higher in fish meal than in meat meal. Taurine is a conditionallyessential amino acid and is either derived from food/feed or biosynthesized in the liver. The most common pathwayfor taurine biosynthesis is by the conversion of cysteine to taurine mediated by the enzyme cysteine sulfinic aciddecarboxylase. Physiological functions for taurine include neuromodulation, cardiac calcium ion modulation,hypolipedemic and hypocholestremic, bile synthesis, osmoregulation, detoxicant and many others. Very littleinformation on taurine is available on the nutritional requirement and or its biosynthetic ability in aquatic species.Understanding taurine nutrition is essential to minimize or eliminate the need for fish meal in feeds, a byproductwhose world supply is constrained by demand from rapid aquaculture development. Knowledge ofnutrition/biosynthesis in various aquatic species may play a key role in the future development of organicaquaculture farming and in the taxonomy of aquatic species.
