Experiments for the production of hybrid striped bass in in-pond circulation systems

Abstract

Experiments for the production of hybrid striped bass (HSB) in in-pond circulation systems (IPCS) were carried out in 2003 and 2004. The circulation system consisted of two channels with a productive volume of 8.5 cubic meters each. The tanks were installed tightly in a pond, which served for the biological cleaning of the expiry water. In the first year HSB fingerlings with an average weight of 46.4 g were produced. The average yield in the basin was 51.2 kg/m3. The survival rate from stocked 0.44 g advanced fry was 97.8%. The food conversion was 1.16.
