Abstract
Eggs of common carp Cyprinus carpio were a satisfactory starter diet for largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides fry as small as 10 mm total length. A darkened, covered rearing container with some amount of horizontal water flow to keep food particles in suspension provided the most suitable rearing conditions. Both Oregon moist pellet and Biodiet were superior to the W-7 diet as terminal diets. Scoliosis occurred in largemouth bass fry, especially the smaller ones, fed on common carp eggs, but was transient in nature and disappeared from all fish within 25 days after feeding on a prepared diet began. Fish of larger and more uniform size trained to common carp eggs better than smaller ones. Production costs of largemouth bass intensively reared from 10 to 50 mm ranged from $0.077 to $0.086 per fish.
