Researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU) are embarking on a study aimed at enhancing the farming techniques for largemouth bass, a species known for its predatory behaviour, including cannibalism. With a grant of $324,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the two-year project seeks to improve intensive aquaculture methods to increase the productivity and predictability of largemouth bass farming. |

The research is a collaborative effort involving SIU, Purdue University, and Big House Fish Farm, a local industry partner. The study is expected to conclude in autumn 2024. |
