Algal Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is an important fish in aquaculture and fisheries management, and its growth and environmental adaptability are crucial for the economy and ecosystems. This study analyzed the genome structure of largemouth bass and identified key genes related to growth and environmental adaptation. It further analyzed the roles of these genes in regulating growth and adapting to environmental changes, and explored the growth regulation pathways, hormonal control, and cellular and molecular processes of largemouth bass to understand its developmental mechanisms. Advances in genome sequencing technologies, transcriptomics, proteomics, and the application of bioinformatics tools help to more accurately analyze the genome and developmental data of largemouth bass. This research aims to reveal the genomic and developmental mechanisms of largemouth bass, deepen the understanding of its molecular basis for growth regulation and environmental adaptation, and hopes to further promote the research and development of largemouth bass, contributing new knowledge and strategies for aquaculture and ecological protection.
