The basal diet contained 350 g/kg FM (control), and then, FM was replaced with SBM or FSBM of 15%, 30%, 45% and 60% respectively. The results showed that the specific growth rate of fish fed FSBM-60, SBM-45 and SBM-60 diets significantly decreased, and the feed conversion ratio of SBM-30, SBM-45, SBM-60, FSBM-45 and FSBM-60 groups increased when compared to the control group (p < .05). The apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter and crude protein of SBM-45, SBM-60 and FSBM-60 groups were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < .05), and the substitution of FM with SBM and FSBM (45% and 60%) significantly reduced the protein retention (p < .05). Serum total protein contents of SBM-60 and FSBM-60 groups and serum cholesterol contents of SBM-45, SBM-60 and FSBM-60 groups were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < .05). The SBM-30 and SBM-60 groups showed significantly higher alanine aminotransferase activity than the control group (p < .05). The intestinal histology analysis resulted that the villus length of the SBM-60 group and the villus width of the SBM-45, SBM-60 and FSBM-60 groups decreased when compared to the control (p < .05). In conclusion, FSBM could replace 30% FM in diet of largemouth bass containing 350 g/kg FM, while the substitution level of FM with SBM was only 15%.
