Study of Bacterial Community Structure of Sediment in Mandarin Fish (Siniperca chuatsi) Culture Ponds

Analysis of bacterial community structure characteristics in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) culture ponds using formulated feed versus live prey fish could provide theoretical support for optimizing the formulated feed-based aquaculture model to replace traditional live prey fish practices. Sediment samples were collected from mandarin fish culture ponds under both feeding modes (formulated feed and live prey fish) across different seasons, with comparative analyses conducted on pond water quality and bacterial community dynamics.
