  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;1. Methionine and total sulfur amino acid (TSAA) requirements of rainbow trout (&lt;i&gt;Salmo gairdneri&lt;/i&gt;) were investigated by feeding graded isosulfurous levels of &lt;span class="small-caps"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;- and &lt;span class="small-caps"&gt;dl&lt;/span&gt;-methionine, &lt;span class="small-caps"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;-cystine, and the free acid and calcium forms of methionine hydroxy analog (MHA).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Added cystine did not promote growth, survival or prevent cataracts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. &lt;span class="small-caps"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;-methionine produced fastest growth, followed by &lt;span class="small-caps"&gt;dl&lt;/span&gt;-methionine, CaMHA and free acid MHA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Trout fed CaMHA gained 85.7 and 92.3% as much as those fed &lt;span class="small-caps"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;-methionine and &lt;span class="small-caps"&gt;dl&lt;/span&gt;-methionine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Within each experiment, the level of L-methionine isomer that prevented cataracts was constant (1.86 g/100g protein in experiment (1), 1.45 in experiment (2) and was lower than for maximum growth (2.89 and 2.15 g) regardless of methionine source.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
