Zooplankton production and manipulation in striped bass rearing ponds

Zooplankton production and survival of striped bass fry (Morone saxatilis) were examined in ponds treated either with organic fertilizer (in 1980) or with a combination of organic and liquid inorganic fertilizers and inoculated with Daphnia pulex (in 1981). In 1980, there were significant differences in water quality variables and chlorophyll α levels among treatments in three series of three pond

A review of pond zooplankton production and fertilization for the culture of larval and fingerling striped bass

Successful culture of the planktivorous fry of warmwater fish species such as striped bass (Morone saxatilis) depends heavily upon the composition and density of zooplankton established in rearing ponds during the 4–6-week culture period. The paper reviews the growth, reproduction, and succession patterns of zooplankton in ponds, organic and inorganic pond fertilization, and predator—prey relation
