Abstract

Abstract The adhesiveness of eggs of white bass (Morone chrysops) can be eliminated with a tannic acid treatment, facilitating jar incubation. Fertilized eggs are added to a tannic acid solution of 150 mg/L in a McDonald jar, and the mixture is aerated with compressed air for 10–12 min. The air stone is removed, the center tube of the jar is inserted, and the water flow is adjusted to keep the eggs in motion. This treatment has been used in the production of reciprocal hybrids with striped bass (Morone saxatilis).
