aquaponics fish speciesThe largemouth bass is an olive green fish that’s part of the sunfish family and is a popular freshwater gamefish. In its younger stages, it feeds on mostly small bait fish, scuds, small shrimp and insects, while adults will eat smaller fish such as bluegill, snails, crayfish, snakes, water birds and other small mammals.

In the wild smaller largemouth bass tend to taste better than large adults mainly because of their diet. However, in a selective aquaponics environment where their diet and water cleanliness is controlled, they taste much better, though generally largemouth bass have a stronger taste compared to many other fishes.
