International Journal of Aquaculture, 2024, Vol.14, No.2, 81-90 http://www.aquapublisher.com/index.php/ija 89 different diets can guide the formulation of feeds that promote optimal growth and health. Knowledge of the genetic basis of sex determination and differentiation can aid in the development of breeding programs aimed at producing desired sex ratios for aquaculture. The research on largemouth bass has significantly advanced our understanding of their genomic and developmental responses to environmental and dietary challenges. Future research should focus on: investigating the long-term effects of environmental pollutants and stressors on largemouth bass at the genomic and physiological levels to develop sustainable aquaculture practices; further elucidating the molecular pathways involved in stress responses and adaptation to improve the resilience of largemouth bass to changing environmental conditions; utilizing genomic information to enhance selective breeding programs aimed at improving growth rates, stress tolerance, and reproductive success in largemouth bass; combining omics technologies with traditional physiological and ecological studies to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing largemouth bass health and performance. By continuing to explore these areas, we can better support the sustainable management and conservation of largemouth bass populations, ensuring their viability for both aquaculture and sport fisheries.
