Final weight (FW), percentage weight gain (PWG), total amount of diet fed, and percent survival of Nile tilapia fry fed plant and animal protein sources either singly or in combinations, with and without amino acid supplementation, as total replacements of fish meal (experiment 1). Mean values within a row followed by different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05).
