Abstract

The production characteristics of juvenile sunshine bass (female white bass Morone chrysops × male striped bass M. saxatilis)and juvenile backcrosses (female sunshine bass × male striped bass) were compared in a 56-d growth trial in recirculating-water systems. Survival, growth, and feed conversion ratios were similar (P < 0.05). Condition factors of the sunshine bass were significantly higher. The results of this study indicate that juvenile sunshine bass and the sunshine bass × striped bass backcross perform similarly in culture situations and that the backcross may offer an alternative to sunshine bass and palmetto bass (male white bass × female striped bass) in the hybrid striped bass industry.
