Abstract A 56-day research was performed to examine the effect of water salinity (WS) on performance and some physiological responses of yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus, 12.5 g) and Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer, 33.5 g) juveniles. Fishes were reared at five WS including 6, 12, 24, 35 and 48‰. Increasing WS from 6 to 12‰ improved growth performance in A. latus juveniles; however, elevation of WS over 24‰ suppressed growth rate in this species. Increment of WS over 12‰ gradually reduced growth and feed utilization in L. calcarifer. In A. latus, fish reared at 24 and 35‰ had the greatest total protease activity, but those in 6‰ had the lowest value (P
