Abstract This study was designed to confirm a previous estimate of the methionine (Met) and total sulfur amino acid (TSAA) requirement of juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer) (Coloso et al., 1999) with a view for further study. Triplicate groups of fish (initial weight: 18.3 g ± 1.5 g) were fed diets with graded levels of dietary Met (7.2–12.8 g kg− 1 DM), centred around a previously reported requirement, and a constant dietary cystine (Cys) inclusion (5.9 g kg− 1 DM) over a 42 day period. At the termination of the experiment, a significant linear increase (p
