Is removing marine ingredients from largemouth bass diets possible?

[WB Staff]

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, there was a more than 2,000-fold increase in global production of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) from 1999 to 2018. The most recent data suggest that around 435,000 metric tons of largemouth bass were farmed in 2018, with a value over (U.S.) $1.24 billion. Almost all (99.5 percent) farm-raised largemouth bass originates from China, with the majority being reared in ponds. Critical to future growth and sustainability of this aquaculture, however, will be the development of diets that are less dependent on fishmeal and other marine resources.
