The invention belongs to the technical field of fishery and relates to a cultivation method of a sea bass fingerling holding pond. The method is characterized by including the steps of 1, pretreating the holding pond; 2, catching natural bass fingerlings 1-2cm long, from a northern sea area, performing desalting to 4-7%. of salinity 4-7%, putting the bass fingerlings in the holding pond, controlling stocking density of the holding pond to be 1-1.5 fingerlings per mu, and filling the holding pond with water frequently for oxygen increasing; 3, feeding the fingerlings with plankton from the second day of entry, and feeding the fingerlings with the plankton and fingerling feed from the third day; 4, feeding the fingerlings with the fingerling feed once a day, with 1-2g of the fingerling feed per 10-20kg of fingerlings, and putting the fishes growing to 4-6cm long into a large pond for thin cultivation, 20-30 days after cultivation. The method has the advantages that the holding pond is pretreated to improve water quality, ecological environment of cultivation water is quick remedied, diseases and sudden death of the fingerlings are effectively prevented, and the use of fish feed with fish disease control and treatment functions in feeding the fishes leads to further increase in survival rate, yield and quality of the bass fingerlings.
