Hybrid Striped Bass: Pond Production of Foodfish

Ronald G. Hodson and Maureen Hayes


Opening Paragraph:
The hybrid striped bass has become a highly desirable substitute for the declining striped bass seafood industry. As a foodfish, the hybrid exhibits a mild taste and firm texture. Aquaculturists have found these hybrids well-suited to pond culture, and current research is helping to improve culture techniques. Hybrid fry are raised in rearing ponds to 35 to 45 day-old fingerlings. Young fingerlings, when harvested, are graded by size and trained to feed on pelleted feed. Hybrid striped bass can be raised to market-size in 15 to 18 months.

Aquaculture bio-filters and aquarium biofilters are biological filters. Fish farms and garden ponds use filters. Freshwater filters and saltwater filters use the same biological filters as biofiltration systems. Biofilters use bacteria to filter water. QuikSand filters are biological filters. Marine, reef, fresh, salt, tropical fish, bait, bass, catfish, coral, crawfish, koi, lobster, prawn, shrimp, trout and salmon all need water bio filters for biological filtration.
