Abstract This study focused on the effects of starch levels on growth performance, intestinal dysbiosis and health of Micropterus salmoides. Three isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets containing different corn starch levels (5%, 10%, 15%) were fed to experimental fish (initial body weight: 8.66 ± 0.04 g) for 8 weeks, respectively. The results showed that the 15% starch levels suppressed the growth, decreased the height and width of villus and number of goblet cell in midgut compared with the other groups (P
