Abstract

Abstract Sunshine bass, a hybrid of female white bass (Morone chrysops) × male striped bass (Morone saxatilis), were raised in tanks to mean weights of 1,333 g on two experimental feeds and 894 g on a commercial feed, 19 months after hatching. During 6–19 months posthatch, average weight gain and feed conversion (weight of feed fed/fish weight gained) were 2.8–3.0 g/d and 1.05–3.16 with experimental feeds versus 1.6–2.0 g/d and 1.34–4.87 with the commercial feed. After 19 months, growth on the experimental feed decreased sharply, and at 30 months mean weight was 1,710 g.
