Hybrid Striped Bass

Pond Production of Foodfish

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: July 1989

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 finger lings, 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.
