This research was carried out in summer 2008 at Abzisytan shrimp aquaculture hatchery center in Bushehr province " Delvar " for 10 successive weeks (2 weeks for adaptation and 8 weeks for culture). The effects of dietary nucleotide at 5 levels of dietary including 0.0%(control), 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.35% and 0.5% on the growth performance of Epinephelus coioides was investigated in this trial. Juvenile fishes with average weight of 10.70 ± 0.29 were fed by experimental diets for 8 weeks. The trial was carried out in 300 liter fiberglass tanks. Fifteen juveniles were stocked in each tank. The best value of growth parameters were observed at dietary at level of 0.35% nucleotide and based on Duncan test, it is recommended that in this study 0.35% of nucleotide suitable for growth of Epinephelus coioides.
