Book excerpt: Laboratory and environmental studies of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) X white perch (M. americana) and striped bass X white bass (M. chrysops) were used to-determine the feasibility of introducing these hybrids into an estuary as a supplement to natural populations of the parental species. Growth patterns, survival, and general hardiness of the hybrids were used as criteria. Growth of striped bass X white perch hybrids in the laboratory was apparently somewhat less than growth of natural populations of striped bass, but was much greater than growth of natural populations of white perch. Hybrid growth was slower than striped bass growth under the same conditions, but hybrid survival was much better than striped bass survival. The hybrids were able to survive and grow in estuarine salinities. Most hybrids matured at two years of age. Striped bass X white bass hybrids were able to adapt to an estuarine environment (the Rappahannock River, Virginia) and could successfully compete with striped bass and other resident ichthyofauna. Hybrid growth was faster than striped bass growth in the Rappahannock and was considerably faster than growth of various freshwater populations of white bass. Hybrids were caught in salinities as high as 17%. They were mature at two years of age. Both hybrids were described using meristic and morphometric characteristics. They were both found to be generally intermediate to the parental species, but in certain traits they tended to resemble one parent more closely than the other. Striped bass, white perch, and their hybrid all had a diploid chromosome number of 48. Possible karyological differences are discussed. One or both hybrids may be suitable for introduction into an estuary to supplement natural populations of striped bass and white perch, but more comprehensive environmental experiments are needed. This dissertation is from the Joint Program Degree from the College of William & Mary and University of Virginia and awarded by the University of Virginia.

Download or read book Striped Bass and Other Morone Culture written by R.M. Harrell and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-05-23 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an up-to-date discussion of the culture of striped bass and other Morone spp. The subject matter is broken down into functional components of the spawning, husbandry, and economics of the industry, and is written by some of the leading scientists in each of the respective areas of discussion. The chapters on reproduction, nutrition, environmental requirements, transportation, economics and fish processing are not found anywhere else in the striped bass literature. The chapter on water quality takes a very non-traditional approach to considering the impact water quality has on the production success of Morone and offers some very thought-provoking ideas on water management. Primarily written as a reference work, this book is intended to complement existing technique manuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture of Nonsalmonid Freshwater Fishes, 2nd Edition presents an expanded, updated description of important techniques and practices for the culture of some of the most widely cultured nonsalmonid species used for human consumption (channel catfish, tilapia, carp) for stocking freshwater bodies for recreational fishing (bass, walleye, striped bass), and for bait (minnows). This new edition features the latest information on spawning, nutritional requirements, special culture requirements, tolerance to various water quality parameters, and types of diseases that can occur. It is an essential book for all aquaculturalists, agency fishery biologists, and students interested in freshwater aquaculture.
