An ontogenetic dietary shift is crucial for the survival and growth of piscivorous largemouth bass (LB). However, there is much to learn about the predator-prey interaction during the switching process. We carried out a series of indoor experiments to examine the predation capacity, predation preference, and growth performance of exotic juvenile LB feeding on candidate prey species in the Pearl River Delta. The widely distributed oriental river prawn (Macrobranchium nipponense), barcheek goby (Ctenogobius giurinus), western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), and mud carp (Cirrhinus molitorella), with relatively similar total lengths, were selected as potential prey based on their availability and habitat use. Our results show that predation capacity and preference varied quantitatively and qualitatively among prey species. The number of oriental river prawns killed was significantly less than that of fish species, comparing the 1st hour with the 24th hour (p < 0.01). The feeding rhythm of LB varied significantly from crayfish to fish. Numerically, Jacobs’ selection index reinforced LB’s special preference for predating G. affinis. Although there were obvious variations in predation capacity and feed selection, no statistically significant growth differences were detected among LB groups feeding on live M. nipponense, G. affinis, H. molitrix, and C. molitorella (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that the successful ontogenetic dietary shift of juvenile LB may depend on the availability and vulnerability of local fish species. Further study on the reproductive phenology of potential fish prey may help to predict LB’s establishment.

“…Global aquaculture production of largemouth bass (LMB), was ~435,000 tons in 2018 and worth ~US$1.2 billion [1] . More than 99% of farmed LMB were produced in China [1,2] , mainly using ponds of 0.3-1 ha [3] . As with other carnivorous species, a vital facet of LMB cultivation is the need to redress the continued use of formulated feeds that incorporate fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) as key components [4] .…”

Diets were manufactured for largemouth bass (LMB) replacing fishmeal (FM) with poultry by-product meal (PBM), soybean meal (SBM), and a hydrolyzed soy meal. Experimental diets included a FM control (FMC), and three FM-free formulations containing equal amounts of PBM and SBM with fish oil (diet F2), Algal meal DHA (F3) or a soy protein concentrate (SPC). A commercial LMB diet was included for reference. Fish (n=20 per group) were randomly dispersed into one of 20 tanks with group weights of ±5%, and densities of 7.39±0.17 kg m -3 . Tanks were maintained as a RAS (28.3±0.76 o C, DO2 at 7.7±1.19 mg L -1 ) and randomly assigned to one of the five diets (n=80 fish per diet). Animals were fed to apparent satiation 3x daily for 12-weeks. Groups were weighed every 3 weeks and feed consumption recorded for calculation of FCRs. At trial end all fish were weighed and measured individually and 3 fish per tank employed for various analyses and comparisons against pre-trial samples. At trial end no differences (P > 0.05) were observed between groups for growth, SGR, or condition. FCR differed between the commercial and F3 diets (P < 0.05). F2 fed fish had higher (P < 0.05) visceral fat than F3 fed fish. Survival was 98-100% across all groups. Results indicate that judicious dietary manipulations may allow elimination of FM from LMB diets without compromising overall performance.

“…To date, studies assessing the suitability of other fish for aquaponics production are still limited. Largemouth bass (LMB; Micropterus salmoides, Lacépède, 1802) has been gradually introduced worldwide, both as game and aquaculture fish (Hussein et al, 2020). Global aquaculture production of LMB amounted to 458,000 tons in 2017, 99.8% from China (FAO, 2020).…”

“…Global aquaculture production of LMB amounted to 458,000 tons in 2017, 99.8% from China (FAO, 2020). LMB farming showed a sharp increment (+88.1%) from 2012 to 2017 (Hussein et al, 2020), and it continues to expand. LMB is mainly farmed outdoor in raceway systems (Yuan et al, 2019) and high-density ponds (Sun et al, 2020), requiring 2 growing seasons (from 18 to 24 months) to reach the commercial size (approximately 0.5 kg live weight) (Watts et al, 2016).…”

Due to its high growth rates, excellent flesh quality, and high tolerance to handling and water conditions (Hussein et al, 2020), LMB is a potential candidate for aquaponic systems. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, no information to this regard is currently available.…”
