Abstract
ABSTRACTBrackish water pond culture studies have been conducted by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission at the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, Grand Chenier, Louisiana, since 1966. Atlantic croaker (Micropogon undulatus) and striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) were among the first species stocked. Various stocking rates and sizes have been tested to determine production without supplemental feed. Polyculture experiments were conducted with striped mulletchannel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) combinations and striped mullet‐Atlantic croaker combinations.Growth data for Atlantic croaker were highly variable; however, striped mullet results were promising, especially for polyculture with catfish. Results from two winter stockings of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) indicate that warmer temperatures and marginal water quality may limit rainbow trout production in southwest Louisiana.
