1. IntroductionThe global population is estimated to grow by 50% by 2050, doubling the demand for animal protein; the existing food productivity will not be able to meet such an enormous demand [1]. Aquaculture is an essential component of food production, and aquaculture species represent a source of nutrition and healthy proteins for humans [2].

Terrestrial compound protein (Cpro) can be potentially used to replace fishmeal (FM) in the marine carnivorous teleost, golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus). Four isonitrogenous (45%) and isolipidic (12%) diets named FM30, AP80, PP80, and CP80 were formulated. FM30 (control) contained 30% FM and 25% basic protein, while AP80, PP80, and CP80 only contained 6% FM, where 80% FM and 25% basic protein of control diet were completely replaced by animal protein, plant protein, and Cpro, respectively.
