AB  - Problem statement: The utilization of inositol was detected for growth performance and erum biochemical parameters of juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer). Approach: A 56 day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of inositol on growth, feed utilization and serum biochemical parameters for juvenile barramundi Lates calcarifer (initial size 5.51±0.07g). Six experimental fish meal-based isonitrogenous (42% crude protein) and isolipidic (10% crude lipid) diets containing levels of inositol (350, 364, 458, 507, 720, 1050 mg kg-1 diet) were formulated. Results: Fish fed diet containing inositol 507 mg kg-1 diet had the significantly highest weight gain (WG, %) among all the groups (p
