Abstract: Introduced in the second half of the 20th century in Portugal, the largemouth
bass (Micropterus salmoides) can currently be found in most of the lakes and reservoirs of
Southern Europe, being an invasive species in Portugal and other Mediterranean regions.
Increasingly in Portugal, the largemouth bass is one of the most sought-after species for
recreational fishing activities and a species with the potential to boost the interior regions of
the Alentejo. Currently, this species is already described as a regional gastronomic cultural
landmark. In this way, the interest of sport fishmen for the species plus the nutritional profile
of the edible muscle of largemouth bass could promote the interest of sport fishermen in
capturing exotic species, which could contribute to a correct management of reservoirs, aiming
at a better balance between native and exotic species. As the complexity of the lipid profile of
fish species is highly influenced by 3 major parameters such as genetics (species, stage of
development in the life cycle); environment (type of environment, water temperature, salinity)
and diet and food availability, the study characterized the nutritional profile of the edible part
of the largemouth bass in two seasons: winter and summer, when major differences occur
at the environmental level and in the food availability. Forty animals were captured, divided
between winter and summer, from Póvoas e Meadas reservoir. It was found that the season
significantly influenced the lipid and protein profile of largemouth bass edible muscle. The
results obtained revealed that the edible part presents nutritional quality in terms of these
profiles. However, its nutritional composition in the summer may prove to be a less healthy
practice, as its profile revealed alterations in terms of the main groups of lipids analyzed.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZLapa americana.
