Abstract
ABSTRACTThe costs and returns of hybrid bass aquaculture were evaluated based on experimental production data in South Carolina. The market potential for hybrid bass was examined based on market price and volume of striped bass on the East Coast during the past two decades. This preliminary assessment indicates that the economic outlook of commercial aqua‐culture of hybrid bass in estuarine waters appears promising. With current technology, prices in the $5.50/kg or higher range would generate some profits for aquafarms. However, the major concern at present is legal restrictions on commercial production and marketing of hybrid bass in South Carolina.
