Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Largemouth bass is a kind of fish with high economic value because of its delicious meat, richness in polyunsaturated fatty acids and protein and strong adaptability. Largemouth bass has become one of the main freshwater aquaculture species in the world, and the production of largemouth bass is increasing year by year, making an important contribution to the global supply of high-quality protein. At present, compound feed is mainly used in largemouth bass culture. However, due to the short breeding time of largemouth bass, incomplete related nutritional parameters and insufficient research on precise nutritional requirements in different growth stages and breeding modes, compound feed cannot accurately match the nutritional requirements of largemouth bass. Furthermore, there are still many problems in largemouth bass culture that need to be solved urgently, such as fish meal replacement, fish oil replacement, low-protein feed development, disease prevention and control, immune enhancement and research and development of new functional additives and aquaculture techniques. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out relevant research, so as to promote the healthy development of the largemouth bass culture industry and compound feed industry.
