Abstract A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary carbohydrate level on the growth performance, body composition,plasma biochemical indices and antioxidant capacity of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides. Six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets containing graded levels of starch (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%) were fed to juvenile largemouth bass. The weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) decreased with increasing dietary starch levels (P
