Red Drum: Site Selection and Pond Construction

James T. Davis


Opening Paragraph:
Selection of a site for red drum production must be based on the knowledge that adults can survive in either freshwater or saltwater. The larvae require salinities of 25 to 35 ppt for at least their first 30 days. In addition, red drum require water with a calcium content greater than 100 ppm and a chloride content greater than 150 ppm for good survival. For optimum growth the calcium content should be more than 150 ppm and the chloride content greater than 1,000 ppm.
