A four-month growth trial was carried out in order to evaluate performance and quality traits of juvenile shi drum fed two isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets having different amounts of vegetable products (Vegetable diet vs Control diet). Compared to the Control diet, the Vegetable diet was formulated by increasing the replacement of fish meal (14%) with soybean and cereal products and fish oil (12%) with a mixture of vegetable oil. On June, 4 groups of 225 fish (2 replicates per dietary treatment) were sorted according to live weight and reared in fibreglass tanks over a four-month long experimental period. Fish were hand fed to apparent satiety. Offered feed, growth parameters and feed efficiency were recorded as productive performance. At the end of the trial (October), biometric, chemical and rheological traits were examined to assess fish quality. The dietary treatments showed similar productive performance. The relatively high inclusion of vegetable sources led to a significant modification of body shape, mesenteric fat and viscera weight. Among quality traits, Vegetable diet-fed fish demonstrated a significantly lower whole body and fillet crude protein content. Yellowness value of the cooked fillet was significantly lower in the Control diet-fed fish, whereas fillet texture was similar. The results of this research showed that shi drum is a suitable candidate for Mediterranean marine aquaculture and its dietary formulation might include at least the amount of vegetable sources adopted in this trial
