Abstract The present study investigated the growth performance, intestinal morphology, body composition and organoleptic quality of large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea fed a diet containing different proportions of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba meal (0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75%) as a substitute for fishmeal. After a 9-week feeding trial, results showed that the specific growth rate and feed efficiency ratio were not negatively affected by dietary krill meal levels. Increasing levels of dietary krill meal linearly and quadratically increased significantly FI (P  3. Texture and pH in muscle were not negatively affected, however, liquid holding capacity linearly decreased (P
