Abstract: It is known that the Bloch brane is generated by an odd scalar field $phi$ and an even one $chi$. In order to localize a bulk fermion on the Bloch brane, the coupling between the fermion and scalars should be introduced. { There are two localization mechanisms in the literature, the Yukawa coupling $$ and non-Yukawa coupling $$. The Yukawa coupling has been considered.} In this paper, we consider { both couplings between the fermion and the scalars with $F_1=ch{i}^{m}ph{i}^{2p+1}$ and $F_2=ch{i}^{n}ph{i}^{2q}$}, and investigate the localization and spectrum structure of the fermion on the Bloch brane. { It is found that the} left-handed fermion zero mode can be localized on the Bloch brane under some conditions, and the effective potentials have { rich} structure and may be volcano-like, finite square well-like, and infinite potentials. As a result, the spectrum { consists of} a series of resonant Kaluza-Klein fermions, finite or infinite numbers of bound Kaluza-Klein fermions. { Especially, we find a new feature of the introduction of both couplings: the spectrum for the case of finite square well-like potentials contains discrete quasi-localized and localized massive KK modes simultaneously.
