A recent study that raised largemouth bass in tanks and cages found that when the LMB (less than 12") were fed pellets (Aquamax 5D05 or Clear Choice 3) the food conversion ratios were 0.95 to 2.11. In most of the tests the food conversion ratios of these captive fish ranged between 1.11 to 1.71. This means that when feeding bass pellets one could get around one pound of bass growth for every 2 pounds of high protein pellets. Aquaculture magazine, Sept-Oct 2004, Vol 30: 8-15.
