This study evaluated the effects of replacing fishmeal (FM) with soybean meal (SM) in diets for juvenile common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) over a 120-day feeding trial. The relevance of this work lies in its contribution to sustainable aquaculture nutrition by partially substituting FM with SM, thereby reducing production costs and dependence on marine-derived inputs without compromising growth performance. Three diets containing 45% crude protein were formulated, in which FM was replaced at 0%, 35%, and 55% with SM. Each diet was administered to three groups of 16 fish, with an initial mean weight of 25.4 g and length of 15.5 cm. Growth parameters, digestive enzyme activity, and hematological variables were assessed. No significant differences were observed among treatments for growth, survival, or hematological parameters. However, the diet containing 55% SM reduced acidic protease activity, while the 35% SM diet significantly decreased feeding costs compared with the 0% and 55% SM diets. In conclusion, replacing 35% of FM with SM may be a promising alternative for juvenile snook culture, as it reduced feeding costs without negatively affecting growth, survival, or hematological parameters under the conditions evaluated.
