People are beginning to
get excited about striped
bass aquaculture. More
research is being done and
more articles are appearing
in aquaculture magazines
and journals. One reason is
that this research has
developed a faster growing
hybrid, which is easier to
keep alive. The hybrid is a
cross between the female
striper and the male white
bass. (It is sometimes called

a “wiper”.) These hybrids
have been raised at our
Aquaculture Demonstration
Project for two years now.
As many people know, the
hybrid and the striper (or
rockfish) thrive in fresh,
brackish or salt water. But,
) spawning must take place in
flowing fresh water.
Aquaculture
By
Johnny Foster
UNC Sea Grant
Previous attempts at
commercial culture of pure
stripers has not been
profitable. Therefore, the
improved survival rate and
more rapid early growth of
the hybrids is encouraging.
The fish may develop into an
especially good aquaculture
species for North Carolina.
The hybrid also has a good
reputation and may be
easier to introduce into the
mass market here than
other cultured species.
Hie hybrids look alot like
pure striped bass. The body
is a little deeper and thicker
than the pure strain and the
stripes on its back are
broken. Apparently, the
hybrids grow faster than
stripers for the first year or
two. But, it is doubtful they
will reach the maximum
size of the stripers.
Fingerlings are rather
scarce now. I’ve read one
report that estimated one -
half million striped bass
fingerlings were raised
privately for sale to the
public in 1979. Os course,
millions were produced by
state and federal hatcheries
for stock enhancement of
public waters. But, while the
growout of the stripers or
hybrids is much the same as
catfish, the fingerling
production is different. To
begin with, the fingerling
striper or hybrid producer
may have to capture the
broodstock from the wild.
This is time consuming,
risky and only for the ex
perienced. (But, it can be
fun!) Then, about five days
after the eggs hatch, the fry
must be fed zooplankton or
be released in a fertile pond.
Young do not take artificial
food readily.
A fertile pond contains
natural zooplankton for the
fry to eat. 1116 fertility must
be managed and main
tained. Initial stocking
should be about 100,000 fry.

THE CHOWAN HERALD
Some insects and other
animals will eat the fry, so
predation must be con
trolled. Disease and can
nibalism can be an immense
problem. Later, the
fingerlings can be gradually
converted over to pelleted
feed. After about SO days, an
average of 30,000 one - to two
• inch fingerlings can be
harvested per acre.
Small fingerlings are
usually stocked into a pond
or lake. For recreational
fishing, usually 5 to 100 fish
between 1% inches and 2
inches are stocked per acre.
For a commercial fish farm,
stocking rates would be
much higher. From 1,000 to
10,000 fingerlings might be
stocked per acre.
Os course, the fish farm
would convert the fish to a
pelleted commercial feed.
In a recreational pond, the
fish fend for themselves by
eating smaller forage fish.
It takes from one to two
years to produce a one -
pound fish.
The work, at our project is
being done by the
Cooperative Fisheries Unit
at North Carolina State
University and is funded by
the Sea Grant Program. The
researchers are evaluating
the production in dirt ponds,
plastic - lined steel pools and
cages suspended in a river.
The hybrid production
project is open to visitors.
Please contact me to make
an appointment to visit. You
will be hearing alot more in
the future about “wipers.”

College campuses in Jacksonville, Fla., met recently with College of The Albemarle
Foundation directors to discuss successful techniques his institution has used to increase
supplementary funds for the college. According to Wise, gifts from businesses and in
dividuals have extended the capacity of his institution to provide many additional services
to the community which otherwise would go unmet. Listening from left are: Dr. J Parker
