Description
Summary:<i>Siniperca</i> species are highly valued freshwater fishes in China. In 2022, the country’s production of farmed <i>Siniperca</i> reached 401 kilotons. With the growing demand for high-quality aquatic products, <i>Siniperca</i> aquaculture offers major economic benefits and promising development prospects. However, the current reliance on live bait in <i>Siniperca</i> farming has resulted in resource wastage, environmental pollution, and disease outbreaks, hindering the healthy and sustainable growth of the industry. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the nutritional requirements of <i>Siniperca</i> in artificial farming, with a focus on proteins, amino acids, lipids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, and micronutrients. We also summarize the progress made in researching alternative protein and lipid sources, feed additives, and the development of artificially formulated feeds to replace live bait. The findings of this review will serve as a reference for further research on the nutritional requirements and development of formulated feeds for <i>Siniperca</i> aquaculture.
