Plankton Management for Fish Culture Ponds

Document format: pdf

Publisher: North Central Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: December 1999

In the culture of larval fish of various species, e.g., walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), hybrid striped bass (Morone saxatilis X M. chrysops) and sunfish (Lepomis spp.), management of the zooplankton forage base is critical to successful transition of larvae to the fingerling stage. In addition, information regarding the relative status of plankton (zooplankton and phytoplankton) communities gives insight into water quality parameters and the possible success or failure of the culture season.
