A method for establishing a largemouth bass model that simulates the susceptibility of iron overload pathogens using inorganic iron.
By adding FeSO4·7H2O to the feed of juvenile largemouth bass, an iron overload was simulated, and a pathogen susceptibility model was established. This solved the problem of the lack of model establishment in the existing technology, achieved significant pathological characteristics and high stability, and supported the study of pathogen infection mechanisms in aquatic animals.

AI Technical Summary
The lack of methods to establish a largemouth bass model of Aeromonas hydrophila susceptibility through dietary intervention affects research on pathogen infection mechanisms in aquatic animals and the development of therapeutic drugs.
By adding FeSO4·7H2O to the diet of juvenile largemouth bass, an iron overload was simulated, and a pathogen susceptibility model was established. This included a feeding period of 14–56 days and a challenge experiment with Aeromonas hydrophila, measuring changes in immune regulation, oxidative stress, and gut microbiota.
A susceptibility model for iron overload pathogens with high stability and significant pathological characteristics was successfully established, which significantly reduced survival rate, increased tissue iron content and oxidative stress, and altered immune regulation and gut microbiota, supporting research on the infection mechanism of pathogens in aquatic animals.
